The Hello Kitty Line Was First Introduced By Build-A-Bear Workshop In 2005
As far back as 2005, Build-A-Bear Workshop was the first company to introduce its Hello Kitty line of products. To celebrate Hello Kitty’s 40th Anniversary, she wears a signature party dress and rainbow confetti fur pattern to commemorate the occasion.
Gina Collins, Build-A-Bear Workshop’s chief marketing officer, said, “We are introducing this limited-edition signature piece to celebrate Hello Kitty, a trusted friend to children worldwide for forty years. Hello Kitty is a global icon that has become a cherished part of the Build-A-Bear Workshop history and portfolio.”
Nothing is cuter, funnier, and more festive than Build-A-Bear Workshop’s make-your-own 40th Anniversary Hello Kitty. There’s no doubt that Hello Kitty is ready for an all-out celebration when she sports her adorable pink bow, sequined toes, and shimmery party dress. The item is available now; the suggested retail price is $23.00. This item is sold separately from clothing and accessories.
