Hello Kitty's Collaboration with Kohikan Coffee House
Iconic characters often captivate our hearts, and few are as beloved as Hello Kitty. Born in 1974, she has charmed millions worldwide. Similarly, Kohikan Coffee House, established in 1970, has been a staple for coffee aficionados in Japan. Their shared history has now culminated in an exciting new partnership: the
Hello Kitty × Kohikan Happy Bag 2026.
The collaboration is set to launch with pre-orders starting on
November 13, 2025, with in-store sales beginning on
December 18, 2025. Online customers can join in the fun starting
December 21, 2025, at 8 PM. To celebrate this partnership, Kohikan will also run a special campaign where customers can receive an original acrylic carabiner as a gift.
A Special Happy Bag Collection
This year's Happy Bag is particularly special, featuring four unique items that embody the spirit of both brands:
- - Bouncy Boa Drawstring Bag: Made from an enticing mix of plush boa fabric and light nylon, available in versatile black and beige, this bag merges practicality with style. The chic design is perfect for winter usage and can be transformed from a shoulder bag to a handbag, fitting seamlessly into any outfit.
- - Original Pouch: This pouch reflects the whimsical world of Hello Kitty combined with Kohikan's iconic menu illustrations. It features reversible designs showcasing Hello Kitty and her twin sister Mimi savoring nostalgic menu items like melon cream soda.
- - Product Exchange Coupons: Offering two coupons redeemable for signature Kohikan dishes, including the popular Traditional Pancakes with Whipped Cream and the House Sandwich.
- - Kohikan Blend Drip Bag: Contains five servings of flavorful coffee, ensuring you can enjoy the rich taste from the comfort of your home.
An Adorable Design with Historical Significance
The
Boa Drawstring Bag features colors that adapt easily to any wardrobe, while the stitching incorporates Hello Kitty's retro 1970s design within the Kohikan theme, depicting the beloved character in a Kohikan uniform next to the famed
Traditional Pancakes. This thoughtful design fuses nostalgia with modern flair, appealing to both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
The
Original Pouch provides ample space and functionality with a design that highlights Kohikan's unique atmosphere. With a large opening for easy access and colorful graphics featuring Hello Kitty and historical cafe items, the pouch embodies cuteness and practicality.
Exciting Promotions Await Fans
To further entice fans, a
Carabiner Giveaway Campaign will run concurrently with the product launch. For every spent amount of 500 yen (tax included) on in-store dining, customers earn one stamp, and upon collecting five stamps, they can receive a randomly selected original acrylic carabiner.
