Hello Kitty isn’t just a cute face — she’s a full-blown empire, and collectors are willing to drop serious cash for the most rare and luxurious pieces.
From diamond-studded jewelry to designer handbags and even a McDonald’s mahjong set (yes, really), these are some of the most high-ticket Hello Kitty items we found.
1. Hello Kitty Stratocaster
Sold for: $5,000
Nothing says “rock ‘n roll” like a white cartoon kitty with a red bow and a yellow button nose. Obviously.
2. Kimora Lee Simmons’ Diamond Hello Kitty Necklace

Kimora Lee Simmons created an entire line of blinged-out Hello Kitty accessories and we won’t lie: They were adorable. Kitty’s pink bow really pops against the diamonds.
3. Hello Kitty Swarovski Crystal
Sold for: $4,100
One thing about Swarovski is they can turn absolutely anything into a crystalized figure. The company made a few different Hello Kitty figurines over the years, and this one sold for more than $4,000 at auction.
4. Hello Kitty Balenciaga Bag
Sold for: $2,490
Diamonds and designer bags? Hello Kitty is the pinnacle of luxury! Balenciaga made several styles showcasing Kitty’s adorable face, and this one sold for just shy of $2,500 on eBay.
5. Hello Kitty McDonald’s Mahjong Set
Sold for: $1,100

7. Judith Leiber Designer Hello Kitty Clutch Handbag
Sold for: $550
This clutch handbag screams 2010 in all the best ways. We can visualize this in the spray-tanned arms of a girl wearing a bright coral shirt tucked into a denim skirt with a chunky white belt around her waist. Lots of eyeliner. Lots of bobby pins. The nostalgia.
8. Rick Wolfryd Here Kitty Funko Pop
Sold for: $500
So many bright colors and fun patterns! This kitty is proof that she doesn’t always have to be diamond-studded or pink and white to be collectible.
9. Gold Hello Kitty Bracelet
Sold for: $280
Finishing out the jewelry trifecta, this Hello Kitty gold bracelet is super cute with heart charms throughout to complement the heart bow on Kitty’s head. Our favorite part, though, is her pink eyes.
10. Hello Kitty Barbie Dolls
Sold for: $160
Of course Barbie has collaborated with Hello Kitty, and of course the result is coveted by collectors and worth nearly $200.
