Chow Sang Sang has joined forces with Sanrio characters to unveil a limited edition “‘Hello Kitty’ Lucky Gold Ingot with Pillowcase Gift Set” The exclusive pre-sale event recently held at the Kai Tak AIRSIDE store attracted crowds eager to make their purchases.
On January 10, the limited edition “‘Hello Kitty’ Lucky Gold Ingot with Pillowcase Gift Set” drew significant attention, with long lines forming even before the event started. Many overseas fans also joined in the excitement. Customers were able to pre-order through Chow Sang Sang’s official website, but only a limited number of gift sets were available for immediate purchase at the event.
