It’s no secret that Hello Kitty has already infiltrated the fashion world—brands like Puma and ASOS have recently used the iconic Japanese character in their collections—and now, Hello Kitty is getting the luxury treatment.   Italian luxury brand Furla has partnered with Hello Kitty on a series of cutesy handbags and accessories for Spring 2018. Furla’s signature Metropolis crossbody bag, for instance, serves as the canvas for three different prints starring Hello Kitty and accompanying floral motifs (available in pink, red, or blue). The collection also includes micro bags, key rings, credit card cases, beauty cases, and pouches—all of which make use or similar cheerful prints. The range became available in May and ranges from $148 for coin pouches to $448 for a larger handbag style. It is now available at select Furla flagships and on furla.com.
