The company announced today that two of its brands operating in China, unisex casual brand Rest&Recreation (RR) and contemporary fashion brand RAIVE, are launching collaborative campaigns with leading local and global partners. RR has partnered with China's premium specialty coffee brand, MANNER Coffee, while RAIVE has partnered with Hello Kitty, Sanrio's globally recognized intellectual property, to further expand its presence and influence in the Chinese market.
Misto Holdings is expanding its presence in China through strategic collaborations. Rest&Recreation has teamed up with MANNER Coffee on a lifestyle campaign, while RAIVE has launched a Hello Kitty capsule collection. Supported by limited edition products and integrated content marketing, the initiatives aim to strengthen consumer engagement and build brand loyalty.
RR's “Rest With Manner” campaign is a lifestyle collaboration created in partnership with MANNER Coffee. Inspired by the idea of escaping the pace of urban life, the campaign invites consumers to experience a moment of coastal-inspired relaxation with a cup of coffee. Starting in July, key flagship locations, including RR stores in Shanghai Xi'an Dream Center and Suzhou MixC World, will be transformed into immersive themed spaces, creating new lifestyle touchpoints with local consumers.
Meanwhile, RAIVE has unveiled a capsule collection in collaboration with Hello Kitty under the theme “Hello Kitty Rock Star.” Timed to coincide with China's 520 shopping season, named after the numbers “520,” whose Chinese pronunciation sounds similar to “I love you,” the collection debuted in China's major offline stores in mid-to-late May. By reinterpreting Hello Kitty's signature elements through RAIVE's signature aesthetic, the collaboration deepened the emotional engagement with Gen Z female consumers.
To celebrate the collaborations, both brands are also offering exclusive limited edition products that reflect their unique identities. RR is offering beach bags and towels with qualifying purchases, while MANNER Coffee has released collaboration tumblers featuring the RR logo along with a special edition coffee bundle. RAIVE also introduced limited edition collaborative shopping bags and cosmetic cases as part of its promotional campaign.
Beyond the collaborations themselves, the projects highlight Misto Holdings' integrated content-based marketing strategy, which goes beyond conventional influencer-led campaigns by building brand narratives from the early stages of content planning. Collaborations with KOLs (key opinion leaders) and creators are designed not simply for one-off exposure, but to deliver narrative content that reflects each brand's identity, seasonal concepts and lifestyle positioning, creating richer and more immersive consumer experiences.
Another key differentiator is Misto Holdings' fully integrated internal operating model. Backed by its own live commerce studio and content production infrastructure, the company manages every stage of the campaign, from planning and creative production to distribution and promotion, in-house. This integrated approach maximizes both consumer engagement and conversion, while strengthening long-term brand affinity among young Chinese consumers.
These collaborations exemplify Misto Holdings' differentiated approach to the Chinese market, combining local cultural partnerships with globally recognized intellectual property to build stronger brand communities and expand consumer experiences through its integrated content marketing capabilities.
A Misto Holdings The spokesperson said: “These collaborations showcase our capabilities in brand operations and marketing within the Chinese market. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen consumer engagement through strategic local partnerships and diverse collaborations while further enhancing our global competitiveness.”
