Riding the colorful momentum of Murakami World, TAKASHI MURAKAMI and CASETiFY return with a bold new collaboration—this time, featuring the beloved twin characters KAIKAI and KIKI. Launching globally on July 17, 2025, this limited-edition collection brings Murakami’s signature pop art to CASETiFY’s tech accessories and travel gear, creating one of the year’s most buzzworthy drops.
Merging Art and Tech: A Designer Dream Unleashed
This latest installment builds on their previous success and pushes the creative envelope even further. The Primrose Pink Travel Bounce Carry-On headlines the release, featuring a new design that spotlights KAIKAI and KIKI in vibrant detail. These characters, who represent innocence and mischief respectively, have become fan favorites since their debut.
Historically, Murakami drew inspiration from the 16th-century Kanō school of Japanese painting, and the phrase “kaikaikiki,” which celebrates both refined and eccentric aesthetics. As a result, KAIKAI and KIKI were born—not only as characters, but as reflections of Murakami’s belief that great art must live in contrast.
Customization Meets Collectibility
CASETiFY continues to stand out by allowing deep personalization. Shoppers can choose from a bold palette of Cherry Red, Matte Black, or the show-stopping Primrose Pink. Furthermore, products can be customized with initials or other personal touches. This collection also belongs to CASETiFY’s prestigious iCONS tier, which features collaborations with some of the world’s most iconic creatives.
In terms of product range, the drop is impressive. It includes phone cases adorned with KAIKAI & KIKI’s playful expressions. Blind box danglers, priced at ₱2,590, add a collectible twist and an element of surprise. Meanwhile, Snappy™ trading card holders (₱4,190) feature MR. DOB’s ears—a subtle nod to their earlier collection. In addition, the lineup includes collectible watch case sets (₱4,290), 3D earbuds holders (₱15,890), ultra-limited pink camera rings, and phone charms (₱5,290 each), offering fans a playful yet premium product experience.
Bringing Murakami’s World to Life
To celebrate the launch, CASETiFY will host several immersive retail experiences. From July 17 to 19, the COMPLEX CASETiFY Pop-Up in Los Angeles will offer fans a first look at the entire collection. Meanwhile, in South Korea, CASETiFY’s flagship Dosan store will be transformed into a fully immersive Murakami World activation. These events will allow visitors to step into Murakami’s universe while shopping exclusive merchandise.
The creators behind the collaboration have expressed their excitement as well. Wesley Ng, CASETiFY’s CEO and co-founder, stated, “After the incredible success of our MR. DOB collection, I’m thrilled to see fans around the world enjoy more of this unique and special partnership. Once again, we’re proving our ability to both delight and inspire.”
Murakami himself echoed the sentiment. “Among my characters, KAIKAI and KIKI are the only twins,” he said. “They embody charm, mischief, and a full spectrum of emotions. I’m delighted this new chapter has come to life on the modern canvas of CASETiFY.”
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, this collaboration delivers everything fans have come to expect—art, innovation, and irresistible design. By merging creativity with functionality, TAKASHI MURAKAMI and CASETiFY have created a collection that feels both personal and powerful.
