Takashi Murakami Is Teaming Up With CASETiFY

Hold onto your suitcases — CASETiFY just dropped its boldest collection to date, and it’s dripping in pop art genius. Teaming up with legendary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, the brand has launched the MR. DOB x CASETiFY collaboration, and it’s equal parts fashion, tech, and collectible madness.

Leading the charge? A limited-edition Bounce Carry-On suitcase plastered with Murakami’s iconic avatar, MR. DOB. This isn’t just any piece of luggage — it’s CASETiFY Travel’s first-ever artist collab, making this release a serious flex for globetrotters with an eye for art.

MR. DOB, originally created in 1993, is Murakami’s version of Mickey Mouse meets manga mayhem. Now, he’s been reimagined across CASETiFY’s signature accessories: from phone cases to earbuds to trading card holders. “Through this collaboration with CASETiFY, I wanted to witness a new world,” said Murakami. “I’m excited to see MR. DOB active in people’s daily lives through the medium of phone cases.”

The collection marks the debut of CASETiFY ICONS, the brand’s newly minted platform for high-profile, culture-defining collaborations. Think: legendary artists, unexpected designs, and limited drops that blur the line between accessory and art.

In true collector style, the lineup includes a few wildcards:

• A white camera ring — a first for CASETiFY — available in just one design. Subtle, but major for die-hard fans.

• 3D MR. DOB AirPods cases that double as pocket-sized sculptures. Art that charges your buds? We’re in.

• AirPods Max covers with DOB’s ears — transforming you into the character himself (or at least someone cool enough to rock it).

• Snappy™ trading card holders, a sleek nod to Murakami’s love for collector culture.

• And our personal favourite: a phone case dangler blind box — a nostalgic thrill for those who live for surprise drops and colour coordination.

But the crown jewel? A customisable MR. DOB Bounce Carry-On, available in three colourways (Cobalt Blue, Cherry Red, Matte Black), complete with your initials in CASETiFY’s signature fonts. Jet-setters, your new travel BFF has arrived.
