Believe it or not, Hello Kitty is 37, but the spry kitten doesn’t show her age. A global phenomenon, the cool cat is one of the most successful branding exercises of all time, with her visage on everything from ‘Monopoly’ to karaoke machines to toasters. Here are some current selections of the thousands on offer. Most are available from her creator’s company, Sanrio, which just celebrated its 40th anniversary.
