Sanrio’s new chocolate themed accessories look good enough to eat
Bandai, a leading Japanese toy and collectible manufacturer, has teamed up with Sanrio to release the “Sanrio Characters Charapaki Mirror Vol.2” collection.
This set of unique mirrors combines the popular “Charapaki” chocolate aesthetic with practical compact mirrors, featuring popular Sanrio characters in a realistic design.
“Charapaki” refers to a popular confectionery series in Japan, known for its chocolate pieces that look like characters or objects which can be “broken” along lines to reveal different shapes.
Bandai’s regular collaborations with Sanrio often include innovative and adorable merchandise that appeals to a range of fans.
Goods have included sweets, figures and capsule toys, with a recent release being a set of cute mermaid mascots.
Sanrio’s characters, including Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi, enjoy immense global popularity, making any new merchandise release highly sought after by fans.
The “Sanrio Characters Charapaki Mirror Vol.2” series features a highly realistic chocolate-style design, mimicking the look and size of actual Charapaki chocolates.
Each mirror comes with a convenient ball chain, allowing it to double as both a portable mirror and a keyholder, making it perfect to store in a makeup bag or attach to a handbag.
Let’s take a closer look at the designs included as part of the “Sanrio Characters Charapaki Mirror Vol.2” series!
