In a delightful mix of creativity and nostalgia, Build-A-Bear Workshop is teaming up with Sanrio’s famous Hello Kitty for an exciting first-ever collaboration in Los Angeles. The Build-A-Bear x Hello Kitty and Friends Workshop is set to open on November 15, 2024, at the Westfield Century City shopping center, perfectly timed to celebrate Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary and World Kindness Day—an ideal tribute to the character’s themes of friendship, kindness, and inclusivity.

 

Fans of all ages will discover a captivating, hands-on journey into creative plush-making. The innovative collaboration invites guests to breathe life into custom plush toys featuring Hello Kitty and her delightful companions, including fan favorites Kuromi and Cinnamoroll.

 

 

Through Build-A-Bear’s signature experience, participants will transform simple plush forms into cherished companions—carefully stuffing, dressing, and accessorizing their creations before sealing each with the heartwarming Heart Ceremony wish. The adventure deepens with personalization options, including distinctive sounds, enchanting scents, and special touches, ensuring each creation becomes a unique treasure that reflects its maker’s personality.

 

Stepping into the workshop, guests will be greeted by a lively, celebratory scene complete with pink aprons, pink and white shopping bags, and specially designed pink birth certificates for their new plush companions. Exclusive Sanrio holiday designs will be showcased, delighting both young fans and dedicated collectors with rare items they won’t find anywhere else.

 

 

The grand opening promises to be truly magical, featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Hello Kitty herself to officially launch this unique destination. The first 50 attendees will receive a special gift, making the day even more memorable. This collaboration is more than an event; it’s a joyful fusion of two cherished brands that embody creativity, fun, and heartwarming memories. Build-A-Bear’s interactive, family-friendly spirit combined with Hello Kitty’s timeless charm ensures this workshop will be an unforgettable experience for fans and families alike.

 

The Build-A-Bear x Hello Kitty and Friends Workshop not only commemorates Hello Kitty’s milestone anniversary but also highlights the lasting allure of Sanrio’s beloved characters across generations. Mark your calendars for November 15, 2024, and immerse yourself in this celebration where art, creativity, and treasured memories come to life. Will you be part of this special day?
