LOS ANGELES, CA, December 8, 2021 – Today, simplehuman, the innovative home products company, is launching a limited-edition collection of Hello Kitty® products for the home. In collaboration with Sanrio, the global lifestyle brand behind the iconic Hello Kitty character, joins simplehuman to give its sleek, stunning and technologically advanced products a bold and vibrant twist that’s perfect for kids and families.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Sanrio and feature one of the most iconic characters of all time”, shares Frank Yang, founder and CEO of simplehuman. “We hope to provide families with a fun and vibrant addition to their homes to make everyday activities a little more exciting.”
