Not ear but an ACTUAL Cat headband



We all know how the staple accessories in each J-Fashion wardrobe includes a animal eared related item. Whether it be the new Axcent wear light up cat-ear headphones, fluffy bunny ears or psycom ears from the anime Chobits. Japanese designer Campanella has gone the next step by creating a cat hairband that will place a life-sized kitty on your head.


Though she does not produce the headband regularly, the outpouring of interest and support she received was phenomenal. She showed it off at Design Festa, an annual expo in Tokyo, Hopefully the positive reaction will encourage her to make more to sell to the public. I know I want one for sure !

Kawaii corner: Kekiko




I asked the founder of the company Amy Leung why she chose pandas.

"Pandas are my all time favourite animal. They are cute, huggable and just adorable fluffy creatures. This is why I chose to have them as my mascots. So far I have a girl panda, Keki, and a boy panda, Kiko, both who I'd like to feature on tote bags, t-shirts and stickers in the future."


Amy the founder of Kekiko has been planning this new store for a year now and has finally introduced it to the world during the MCM Expo weekend 2013. The online store is now up and running  you can visit it at: www.kekiko.com

The headgear were the top sellers at the Kekiko stall, these included the kitty and bunny ears, the tokidoki snapbacks and the bunny ear beanie hats. Everyone loved them and thought they went well with almost any outfit. Amy had also hand made some cute panda bookmarks and little hair pins that were received very well at the expo.

Our favourite items Kekiko sells include:


Molang

Molang is a small and lovable animal.  He’s very curious and a big dreamer. Molang loves to have fun and to make/give/blow kisses. But what he loves the most is to eat strawberries. As soon as Molang catches a whiff of this fruit, its cheeks turn a little pinker and its eyes shine a little brighter. A very kawaii large size Molang Bunny born and bred all the way from Korea! Soft and cuddly and awaiting your love.


Kawaii White Sheep Hand-Warmer Plush Toy Cushion

Keep your hands warm during those cold nights or mornings with these adorable little fluffy sheep hand warmers. Great as gifts or to use as a cushion. Really soft to cuddle. Each comes in a different colour, equipped with its own little scarf. This is one of the most useful things I discovered on Kekiko's site especially for Britain's chilly winter. Keep warm and kawaii with this top product!
