Ju-Ju-Be Unveils Exclusive Collection with Sanrio® & Tokidoki

Limited-Edition "Dream World" Available to Consumers November 17th, 2015

Last night tokidoki, the pop culture brand meaning "sometimes" in Japanese, and Sanrio, the global lifestyle brand best known for the beloved pop icon Hello Kitty®, unveiled their print design collaboration with Ju-Ju-Be® (ju-ju-be.com), the function-meets-fashion bag company, at tokidoki's 10th anniversary party in downtown Los Angeles. This never-before-seen collection, entitled "Dream World", will be available to consumers on November 17, 2015. "Dream World" will be featured on every style in Ju-Ju-Be's line of bags and accessories, including diaper bags, tote, bibs, and backpacks. It will also be available in a new style, Be Bop, which will only be available on sanrio.com, tokidoki.it and ju-ju-be.com.

The custom "Dream World" pattern features Hello Kitty, an all-star cast of colorful characters from tokidoki's universe, and elements from Ju-Ju-Be's design arsenal. Set on a neutral background with vibrant pops of color, this bag comes to life with characters from tokidoki's universe as well as Hello Kitty herself.

In 2012, Ju-Ju-Be launched its first collaboration with tokidoki, and the two companies have since released a number of successful collections together. Nearly a year ago, Ju-Ju-Be and Sanrio introduced their very first collaboration -- a line of Hello Kitty diaper bags, backpacks, and other accessories. "Dream World" is the first time all three companies have worked together to create a single print.

"With popular elements from Hello Kitty tokidoki and Ju-Ju-Be, 'Dream World' is sure to be a sell out!," said Kristin Hunziker, Ju-Ju-Be's co-founder.

About Ju-Ju-Be®
Ju-Ju-Be was started by the dynamic duo of diaper bags. Despite the great fashion (and even some great features) of the other brands, there were still some things lacking. No one had put to use the latest in technology. No one had successfully acted on the idea that fashion and function are not mutually exclusive. No one else had delved into the deep realm of microbes and anti-stick coatings. Everyone else said that diaper bags aren't rocket science. Ju-Ju-Be thinks they can be. Along with being a lot of fun! Ju-Ju-Be bags are available at premium boutiques everywhere including Nordstrom, Buy Buy Baby and www.ju-ju-be.com.
