The 3,600-square-foot space features merchandise from Hello Kitty, as well as Gudetama, Aggretsuko, My Melody, Little Twin Stars, Chococat and Keroppi.
The shop -- like the company's first flagship in downtown Los Angeles' Japanese Village -- pays homage to Sanrio's Japanese heritage. From a Hello Kitty figurine posing with a cherry blossom, or sakura, to limited edition product imported for the boutique to the Hello Kitty Kawaii Mart installation, the space blends Japanese and American culture.
