Pochi + Hello Kitty Silicone Pouch
I just spent the whole morning trying to figure out what this actually is after a reader sent me the link via email. And after endless rounds of using Google Translate on the Japanese site, this is what I gathered about the Pochi + Hello Kitty Silicone Pouch.
P+G is a Japanese company that specialises in making lifestyle products like wallets, card cases and coin purses out of silicone. Besides adorable coin pouches that come in a dazzling array of colours, they currently have a Hello Kitty limited edition that retails for Y1200 (around SGD18.50 or so). Measuring 92 mm by 45 mm, it is palm-sized, great for loose change and other bits.
There is an online site that seems to take orders, though I am not completely sure if they take international orders. If anyone out there can read Japanese and is able to transact an international order, do kindly leave a comment here. Or if anyone has spotted them anywhere locally, do let me know too.

Cuteness! I hope some kind Japanese reader figures out if int’l orders can be placed!
Me too! I don’t mind the Hello Kitty pouch in Blue. Very butch.
They sell Pochi products at Strapya World as well. But they only have the normal ones. No Hello Kitty X Pochi. Ships internationally.

Can you do a pre-order?! COS I REALLY WANT THIS!!!
I didn’t think you were such a huge HK fan. LOL!
I understand Japanese, though I’m not the best at it, just basic-intermediate level. And I just navigated around the site, it seems like it would be possible to ship overseas but it’s the transferring of the money that is difficult for people living outside of Japan.
I tried placing an order, the webmaster (or store owner) will get back to me at a later date. Will let you know of the results.
Hi BB! They do have it in Strapya World. They only have 2 colors available though – purple and yellow. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the update Arlene! Much appreciated!
Just took a look at the site and they don’t do international shipping. Companies like Tenso and vPost wouldn’t work because payment’s done by (Japanese) bank transfer or when you receive the goods (to the delivery man).
Strapya’s probably the easiest way to get it for now!
Thanks again Soshi!
I’ve ordered mobile phone accessories from StrapYa before many years back. You shouldn’t have any problems or face any glitches now with both payment and delivery. Assuming they can only improve on their website and not deteriorate. Lol.
I want one too!
Are we consolidating orders?
yes pls!
Damn… My favourite colors red and pink are not available. So sad… Boo hoo…
lol… doesn’t look like a pouch… until i saw the 2nd image. cute!
Saw these coin purses at Toy Outpost Vivo City… only $6.90. Other types too…
You can also try this site. Prices are in US dollars, and seem quite reasonable. They have free shipping in the US, but they also do international shipping.
