Italian watch brand Vabene brings Hello Kitty to Thai timekeepers

Fans of Hello Kitty rejoice! Vabene, the hip Italian watch brand, has just introduced its chic "Vabene Hello Kitty" collection to Asia. The classic pink cat icon comes in a limited edition special design in three chic colours - pink, white and cappuccino brown.

The collection has been designed by the owner of the Vabene brand, Giorgio Grimoldi. He's blended the cool "Superstar Collection" with the cuteness of Hello Kitty inspired Swarovski crystal decorations. The result is a sweet yet surprisingly stylish timepiece.
