Kuromi is one of the few licenses that works for older girls, and you can see that in the catalog: here the backpack is not for toddlers, it’s for elementary school, and the thermos is real steel, not a plastic character bottle.
It’s also the most expensive kit on this page, precisely because of that.
The Backpack and the Thermos
The Kuromi Backpack is elementary school size, not toddler size: it’s designed to carry books, not a change of clothes. It’s the largest format among all the licenses we work with.
The Kuromi Thermos Bottle is made of double-walled stainless steel with a vacuum chamber, so it keeps temperature for hours and doesn’t transfer flavors. It’s best to wash it by hand: hot dishwasher cycles eventually affect the vacuum seal, which is exactly what insulates it.

How to Know Which One Is Yours
These backpacks are official resale merchandise: they are not personalized on the fabric. And in a classroom coat rack, there are several of the same character, so identifying it is a real issue.
What we offer for that is a laser-engraved faux leather pendant with the child’s name, which attaches to the zipper pull. It’s ordered as an option on the backpack’s product page and charged separately: it’s not included in the price. The laser engraving marks the material, so it doesn’t rub off like a marker does.
Official Product
Everything on this page is licensed merchandise from the character’s rights holder, not an imitation. If you’re considering buying elsewhere, in how to tell an original licensed backpack from a copy we explain what to look for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kuromi backpack suitable for toddlers?
It will be too big. It’s elementary school size: on a three- or four-year-old child’s back, the base would reach below the bottom and pull backward.
Does the thermos keep drinks cold all school day?
Double-walled steel ones keep temperature for hours. The exact duration depends on how many times it’s opened, since each opening renews the air inside.
Is Kuromi part of Hello Kitty?
She’s from the same universe, Sanrio, but she’s her own character. We have products from both licenses separately.
Can the name be engraved on the thermos?
Not on this one: it’s official resale merchandise. If you want a thermos with a name engraved, we have customizable steel bottles in our own catalog.
