It’s a pity that the 2020 Olympics in Japan have been postponed to next year, ‘cause this would be super fitting to add to the hype! Nevertheless, these new bags, pouches, and charms are too adorable and are perfect for ladies who like a touch of cute without saccharine sweet vibes.

Unlike Samantha Thavasa’s usual designs, this collection doesn’t have any pink or pastel. The shades used here are brighter and bolder to match the sporty theme, with a good dose of primary colours.

The soccer and baseball shoulder bags (JPY13,200, ~S$169.50) in blue and red respectively are great for casual days out. The strap might look long, but it is adjustable to suit smaller body frames as well.

The back comes with a Hello Kitty monogram print in a colour that matches the zip - essentially making it a 2-in-1 design.

Put the finishing touch on your bags with these bag charms (JPY4,180, ~S$53.67). There are eight sporty variants to choose from with the character engaged in fitspo-worthy activities. Each one comes with a mini rhinestone charm for a bit of sparkle.

Two of the charms in particular show Hello Kitty peeking out cheekily from sports bags.

These Samantha Thavasa Hello Kitty items are currently available in Japan. They haven’t made their way to Singapore, but we sure hope they do! In the meantime, if you simply can’t wait, you can always use a third party service such as ZenMarket or Vpost to get these shipped over to you.
