The holiday collection follows Sanrio and Forever 21’s Hello Kitty and Friends Halloween collection, which debuted in September, just in time for spooky season. Featuring Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Badtz-Maru and the rest of the Sanrio characters, the collection included 52 pieces with Halloween twists, like ghost motifs and the characters in bat costumes.
Forever 21, which is owned by Authentic Brands Group, the parent company of Brooks Brothers, Judith Leiber and Vince Camuto, inked a deal with Shein in October. Under the terms of the deal, Shein will design, manufacture and distribute a line of Forever 21 apparel and accessories that will include sportswear, activewear and swimwear, among other categories. The collection, which will sport the co-branded label Forever 21 x Shein, will be sold exclusively online on Shein’s sites in the U.S. as well as part of Europe and Australia.
