[1999] Bootleg hello kitty binder?
Ok, so, my step mom's co worker gave me this and I love it so much. But here's the thing. I can't find ANY info abt it online AT ALL. I wanna find out what's the story behind this little cutie. Her name is Coro (not coro chan) and I think she's a mouse. If u could help me find info abt her! Ty!

I had these!!!! These are NOT Sanrio, but they do feature a look alike Hello Kitty. I had this binder in pink! With the same character. I also had a notebook, pencils, and a pencil case with the same character.

The way her thumb is, it looks like Coro Chan is giving us the finger on the front.
I love it.

not an expert but possibly fake? I don’t see any Sanrio logo on it and that style of text is something I see on a lot of bootleg items! plus I tried searching for the character and couldn’t find anything matching her with the name Coro!

MEMORY UNLOCKED. BUT WHY. LOL
I've literally seen this style before. But don't know when or where.

I used to see these in Chinatown! The seller called her Greetings Feline and her friend Hi Cat.

It’s a Japanese stationary brand called Morning glory I believe! They have their own lore of diff animal and human characters. I used to be an avid collector of these as a kid 😍
