Hello Kitty teams up with French patisserie for new sweets collaboration

A collaboration between Ladurée, a long standing Parisian patisserie, and Sanrio’s Hello Kitty has been announced.

To mark the first anniversary of the Ladurée Hibiya store, they will host a delightful dream-like tea party with Hello Kitty.

This collaboration presents numerous charming collaboration items, including stylish “macaron boxes” for customer takeaway and “afternoon teas” to enjoy at Ladurée Hibiya store’s teahouse, ‘Salon de The’.

Let’s take a look at what’s on offer as part of the Ladurée x Hello Kitty collaboration!

Printed Macaron “Hello Kitty”

Hello Kitty printed macarons are priced at 540 yen per piece

Three different designs of Hello Kitty macaron, which have a vanilla flavored white chocolate ganache filling, are available to purchase separately.

Macaron Box “Hello Kitty”

A limited-edition macaron box, featuring a dressed-up Hello Kitty shopping at a Ladurée boutique and enjoying tea time at the ‘Salon de The’, will be available.

The macaron boxes will be available as either a 6 or 9 piece box.

The Hello Kitty Macaron box also includes a free limited edition Hello Kitty shopper.

Hello Kitty Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea is priced at 16,500 yen (based on two people sharing)

This specially designed afternoon tea for two provides a selection of indulgent treats based on Hello Kitty, with a strawberry theme.

The afternoon tea set offers a chance to experience the world of Hello Kitty within the sophisticated setting of Ladurée’s ‘Salon de The’.

The Hello Kitty afternoon tea must be booked online in advance of your visit, which can be done via the official website.

Hello Kitty Parfait

This charming parfait almost appears too lovely to consume, with strawberry jelly layered with strawberry cream, strawberry sauce, vanilla cream, strawberry sorbet, vanilla ice cream, red fruits, and chiboust cream.

Placed atop is strawberry creme chantilly sprinkled with strawberry powder, a halved rose macaron, and chocolate decoration shaped like the maison’s initial “L”.

As a final flourish, an edible Hello Kitty face is placed atop the dessert.

Hello Kitty Strawberry Latte

This is the ultimate pink beverage – a cold strawberry latte featuring a raspberry dusted print of Hello Kitty shopping at Ladurée.

The Ladurée x Hello Kitty collaboration launches on April 25th, with ‘Salon de The’ menu items served until June 30th.

Ladurée is also planning a second wave of collaboration items, scheduled for a June release, which is set to include a tin of sable biscuits (French round shortbread cookies) and a mini tote bag.

Further details regarding the second collaboration will be announced closer to the release date.
