Sanrio Characters' Hoppé-chan Silicone Strap is Back!

In an exciting development for fans, the popular "Sanrio Characters' Hoppé-chan Silicone Strap" will be back on shelves starting September 2025, as announced by MittoMerhen Co., Ltd., the Sanrio business division based in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. Priced at 1,000 yen each (tax included), this product is poised to charm both new and returning fans alike. Originally launched at Sanrio Puroland during the summer of 2025, the Hoppé-chan Silicone Strap received overwhelming praise and demand, leading to this highly anticipated nationwide re-release.

What is Hoppé-chan?

Hoppé-chan is an original character developed by MittoMerhen that has created a niche in the DIY market. Each Hoppé-chan is crafted carefully by artisans, imbuing them with unique personalities. The character has previously captivated audiences with its delightful design and masterful craftsmanship.

The Legacy of Hoppé-chan

Initially introduced in 2021, the Hoppé-chan Silicone Strap highlighted iconic Sanrio characters such as Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Cinnamoroll. The specially designed Hoppé-chan straps quickly became a phenomenon on social media, leading to swift sellouts. The appeal lies not just in the squishy texture and vibrant visuals but also the immersive experiences crafted around each character.

Anticipated Demand for the Comeback

With exciting feedback surrounding the upcoming re-release, consumers are advised to act quickly as stocks are limited. The initial reception has already indicated a significant wave of interest, and although additional production runs may be considered depending on demand, the handmade nature of each piece means supply will inevitably be restricted.

Where to Purchase

The Hoppé-chan Silicone Strap will be available through the official Sanrio website and at various pop-up locations. For more details on where to buy, visit the official shop here: Sunho Store.

The craftsmanship behind each Hoppé-chan is impressive.
