The Hello Kitty x Photo Phactory Rectangle Clutch Bag ($85) is a colourful yet classy piece that’s great for dressy days. The background pattern looks similar to that of heritage shophouse tiles, and against that is an image of Hello Kitty’s face in muted tones.

The back features tinier prints of Hello Kitty alternated with the “tiles”, and the gold chain strap can be detached.
It’s roomy enough to fit your cash without you having to fold it, along with other small knick-knacks like lipstick.
#2: Box Clutch

While the previous clutch was mainly red-toned, the Hello Kitty x Photo Phactory Box Clutch ($85) is of cooler shades like green and blue. This, too, has a detachable gold chain and the compact, squarish shape of the bag makes it look extra cute.

All 6 pieces differ in design, with traditional shophouses and their ornate tiles a unifying design factor. Oh, and our favourite kitty, of course.
