Collaboration Overview
This collaboration was realized through the meeting of the lifestyle brand "ELLE," born in France in 1945 and constantly proposing free self-expression, and "Pompompurin," a lovable character with a laid-back personality beloved by a wide range of generations.
Taking the opportunity of Pompompurin's 30th anniversary year in 2026, this collaboration combines the worldviews of both brands to bring small joys and comfort to various everyday scenes.
About the Collection
Set against the story of Pompompurin going on a trip to Paris, the collection expresses a French-chic world view incorporating the marinière (marine stripe) style proposed by ELLE.
Enjoy the special charm of Pompompurin that can only be found here.
About Product Sales
The collaboration launches starting June 17, 2026 (Wednesday) at the pop-up event "HELLO KITTY'S SWEETS MARKET ~ Chocolate lovers ~" held at Ginza Mitsukoshi New Building 7th floor event hall.
At the venue, limited items designed specifically for this collaboration will be offered.
Additionally, our company has previously collaborated with Sanrio characters; last year's projects with My Melody and Kuromi were well-received. This collaboration with Pompompurin is a new initiative made possible by that positive response.
Through this project, we aim to provide experiences that accompany daily lifestyles and make hearts leap every time they are picked up.
