Never one to miss her moment, enter the Hello Kitty Rolling Tray Set. The famous cat character was designed by Yuko Shimizu and was added to the lineup of early Sanrio characters in 1974. Hello Kitty’s first appearance on an item was in March 1975 on a vinyl coin purse sold in Japan, where she was pictured sitting between a bottle of milk and a goldfish bowl.
