Hello Kitty Tsubaki Gara Wallet - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» The year 2009 marks the 35th Anniversary of Hello Kitty and NCS has received numerous product offers throughout the year. We've ignored most of them because it is our belief that there's too much Kitty in the world. Despite the lack of love for Kitty at NCS however, we allowed two HK products to be listed yesterday. We grudgingly allow a third product through the gates today.

The Hello Kitty Tsubaki Gara Wallet is adorned with flowers bearing white petals and disembodied Hello Kitty heads. The black background provides contrast to the flowers and Kitty's pale face while a shock of red puts the blush on things. Four wallet styles are on offer and preorders are welcome to ship in late November 2009 at US$16.90 each.
