No mouth. No words. And somehow, she's said everything.
Hello Kitty — or Kitty White, to give her her full name — was born in the suburbs of London in 1974, the creation of Sanrio designer Yuko Shimizu. She is a girl who loves apple pie, piano, and her twin sister Mimmy. She has never spoken a word and never needed to. In the five decades since her first appearance on a vinyl coin purse, she has become one of the most recognisable characters on the planet: a global icon of kawaii culture whose appeal cuts across age, background, and generation in a way few characters ever manage.
Our Hello Kitty collection brings together officially licensed gifts, accessories, homeware and collectibles — from Funko Pops and enamel pins to mugs, bags and keyrings in her signature red-and-white palette. Whether you're a lifelong devotee or shopping for someone whose love for Kitty White has never wavered since childhood, you'll find something here worth smiling about.
No bow required. Just good taste.
