I’ve loved Hello Kitty ever since I was a little girl, so when I found out that the Hello Kitty and Friends Cozy Corner Pop-Up was opening at Del Amo Fashion Center, I knew I had to visit.

Walking into the cozy, kawaii-filled space in my hometown felt like stepping into a joyful childhood memory.

There were so many kawaii photo ops in every corner! Every spot felt made for capturing the perfect Sanrio moment. Whether you’re snapping selfies with Hello Kitty or posing with all her friends, it’s impossible not to have fun.

One of the best parts of the pop-up is that Hello Kitty and all her friends are everywhere! From playful displays to themed decor, it feels like you’re stepping into a world where every corner is full of kawaii.

There’s also a DIY charm station where you can create your own little keepsake, adding such a personal touch. Of course, I couldn’t resist making a Hello Kitty charm for myself!

I also loved all the exclusive merchandise—everything was seriously adorable! My favorite has to be the exclusive Hello Kitty and Friends tote. Move over, Trader Joe’s totes—this one has officially stolen my heart. I can already picture carrying it around town, filled with my favorite Sanrio goodies!

The best part of my visit? A Hello Kitty meet-and-greet! Seeing her in person brought back all the joy from my childhood and made the day feel truly magical. Cogimyun was there too—a supercute Sanrio buddy who made the experience even sweeter!

Overall, it was such a sweet experience, and I left with my heart completely full.

If you’re near Del Amo, don’t miss your chance to step into this kawaii corner before it closes on November 30!
