FAQs (Frequently asked questions)

What is Sanrio?

Sanrio is a Japanese lifestyle brand founded in 1960, best known for creating some of the world's most beloved characters — Hello Kitty, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, Pompompurin, and many more. Their philosophy is simple: small gifts make people happy. That idea has built a global empire of merchandise that spans plush toys, stationery, accessories, clothing, homewares, and collectibles. If you've ever felt an inexplicable urge to put a Cinnamoroll on everything you own, you understand Sanrio's power.

There are over 400 Sanrio characters, but the most popular include Hello Kitty (the OG icon since 1974), My Melody (sweet and pink since 1975), Cinnamoroll (the cloud-eared puppy who won the rankings in 2023), Kuromi (My Melody's punk-kawaii rival), Pompompurin (the golden retriever obsessed with pudding), Keroppi (the frog with the huge smile), Pochacco (the sporty dog), and Badtz-Maru (the grumpy penguin). Each has their own distinct personality — and devoted fanbase.

Every year Sanrio runs a global fan vote to crown the most popular character. It's a big deal in the Sanrio community — fans campaign hard for their favourites. Cinnamoroll held the top spot for several years running, but the rankings shift every year. In 2025, Kuromi climbed to 4th globally, above Hello Kitty. The full rankings are always interesting and often surprising.

Officially? Yes and no. Hello Kitty is described as a "girl who lives in London" by Sanrio — she's not a cat, she's a little girl who happens to look like a cat. She has a name (Kitty White), a family, a twin sister (Mimmy), and a boyfriend (Dear Daniel). Sanrio has been insistent on this point for decades, which is simultaneously fascinating and slightly confusing. For the record, she was born on November 1st in the suburbs of London. She loves baking cookies and making friends.

Our Sanrio range covers Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Pompompurin, Keroppi, Pochacco, Badtz-Maru, Gudetama, Tuxedo Sam, and more. Product types include plush toys, blind boxes, tumblers, stationery, pencil cases, keychains, backpacks, and drinkware. All officially licensed, all stocked in Brisbane for fast Aussie dispatch.

Absolutely — Sanrio's audience skews heavily adult. Most of the people buying Sanrio merch in Australia are teens, university students, and adults who grew up with these characters. The designs are timeless rather than childish, and Sanrio regularly collaborates with fashion and lifestyle brands that appeal to adult aesthetics. There's no age limit on cute.

Sanrio is the company; Hello Kitty is one of their characters. It's like asking the difference between Disney and Mickey Mouse. Hello Kitty is Sanrio's most famous creation, but the brand has hundreds of characters — many of whom (like Cinnamoroll and Kuromi) have overtaken Hello Kitty in popularity in recent years.

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap — avoid machine washing to preserve the shape and softness. For drinkware, hand wash only to protect printed designs. Store plush toys away from direct sunlight to keep colours bright. Treat them well and they'll look great on your shelf for years.

Yes, every single item. We only stock officially licensed Sanrio products from trusted suppliers. You won't find fakes here — just genuine, quality-checked merch shipped fast from Brisbane.
