Their first collaboration last year featured Hello Kitty. The second includes the Sanrio star’s best friend, My Melody, having a trippy trip in space. Love these bags, but afraid that they’ll look too “youthful” because of its cutesy print? Here, we show how you can carry them off in style, for work or the weekends.

 

Casual brunch

From L to R: Printed dress, $99.90, Zara. Ejing Zhang gold-plated resin earrings, £190 (S$329), www.net-a-porter.com. Furla x Sanrio calf leather clutch, $265, Furla. Tkees two-tone leather sandals, £55 (S$95), www.net-a-porter.com.

The heat’s might be taking a toll (hello, humidity!) but your dressing should not. Keep yourself cool and comfortable with a sleeveless cotton dress and a pair of thong sandals. Spice up your #OOTD with a pair of statement earrings.

 

Career first

From L to R: Linen jacket, $99.90, polyester straight pants, $89.90, Mango. Furla x Sanrio Metropolis S calf leather bag, $780, Furla. Leather mid-heels, $139, Zara.

If you think that a quirky, printed bag isn’t work-appropriate, well, think again. The best way to deviate the attention away from your eclectic purse is to don a monotone suit. Black’s the best bet, but you can opt for a navy number to colour coordinate with your bag.

 

To the movies

From L to R: Chloe jacquard knit cardigan, £995 (S$1,725), www.net-a-porter.com. Marble hoop earrings, $43.90, Charles & Keith. Re/Done high-rise straight leg jeans, £242 (S$420), www.net-a-porter.com. Furla x Sanrio calf leather crossbody bag, $275, Furla. Contrast sneakers, $99.90, Zara.

Catching the upcoming X Men: Dark Phoenix on screens this week? Keep yourself warm in the chilly theatres by wearing a cardigan. Dress your look casually with a pair of denim jeans and some sneakers.

 

Late night supper

From L to R: Textured sleeveless top, $39.90, leather strap sandals, $59.90, Mango. Joseph cotton wide-leg pants, £495 (S$858), www.net-a-porter.com. Gold-plated necklace, €129 (S$199), Nalin Studios. Furla x Sanrio calf leather clutch, $265, Furla.

If you’re heading out for a midnight snack, dress down in a comfy sleeveless top and a pair of ecru pants. Finish the look with a sleek pair of sandals.
