Hello Kitty Pink Embossed Handbag/Tote Bag

This is a new or like-new handbag or tote bag featuring the iconic Hello Kitty character. The primary color of the bag is a soft, pastel pink, consistent across the main body, handles, and top flap. The bag appears to be constructed from a synthetic leather or PU leather material, giving it a smooth, semi-glossy finish. The handles are rolled and padded, currently encased in clear protective plastic, indicating it is likely new with tags or has been very carefully preserved. A prominent feature is the embossed outline of Hello Kitty's head, complete with her signature bow, located centrally on the front flap of the bag. Above this embossed design, the top flap showcases a subtle grid or square pattern, also embossed, adding visual texture to the otherwise smooth surface. A thin, dark brown or possibly bronze-colored stripe runs horizontally across the top flap, just below the grid pattern. The bag has a structured shape, suggesting it can stand on its own. While specific dimensions are not provided, it appears to be a medium-sized tote, suitable for daily essentials. The presence of a Hello Kitty brand tag, with a checkerboard pink and white pattern and the character's face, further confirms its branding and new condition. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, scuffs, or repairs, consistent with a new item. The craftsmanship appears to be mass-produced, typical for licensed merchandise, with clean lines and consistent material application. The overall aesthetic is whimsical and suitable for fans of the Sanrio character, likely dating from the 2000s or later given the contemporary clean design and material choice.
