Sanrio Kitty x Harapeko Aomushi♪ Lovely Collaboration is Too Cute! Tote Bags, Pouches, and More Appear in Capsule Toys

Get ready for some seriously kawaii collaboration goods! Sanrio’s iconic Hello Kitty is teaming up with Eric Carle’s beloved masterpiece, The Very Hungry Caterpillar (known in Japan as “Harapeko Aomushi”), for a second round of adorable items. Following the success of the first collection, “Harapeko Aomushi x Hello Kitty Variety Collection Part.2” is set to launch at capsule toy machines across Japan starting mid-December 2025.

Sweets-Themed Designs Full of Charm

This second collaboration wave serves up a delightfully sweet theme. The designs feature desserts like strawberries, cherries, and cupcakes adorned with Hello Kitty’s signature ribbon, all being eagerly eyed by the perpetually hungry caterpillar. The artwork is incredibly charming, capturing that “munch-munch” moment we all know from the story.

Seeing Hello Kitty rendered in Eric Carle’s vibrant, hand-painted textural style is a unique treat that perfectly blends both worlds. It’s a design that will make fans of both characters absolutely squee with joy.
