    Casetify Unveils Innovative Collaboration With Artist Takashi Murakami: The Kaikai And Kiki Collection

    In a collaboration between Casetify and Takashi Murakami, an exciting new collection featuring the renowned Japanese artist’s characters, Kaikai and Kiki, has been unveiled. This collection, building on the triumph of the previous Murakami World collection, comprises a variety of tech accessories, travel gear, and collectibles.

    New Range Highlights

    The new collection includes an array of items such as phone cases, trading card holders, watch bands, AirPods holders, and phone charms. Central to the assortment is the Travel Bounce Carry-On in an enticing Primrose Pink hue, adorned with Kaikai and Kiki artwork.

    The collection also sees the Cherry Red and Matte Black travel series revamped, now featuring these enchanting characters. The brand has also offered customization options for selected products, allowing customers to add a personal touch to their items.

    Pioneering Products

    In addition to the aforementioned products, Casetify is also introducing its first pink camera ring under its Icons series. This product launch coincides with the introduction of a 29-inch Bounce Check-In Trunk, which holds the distinction of being the brand’s largest luggage product so far.

    Takashi Murakami expressed his enthusiasm for the new collection, stating that it provides a fresh medium for the expansion of Kaikai and Kiki, his single pair of twin characters. The duo, according to Murakami, symbolizes a wide range of emotions. The characters’ names, interestingly, were inspired by a phrase used to describe the painter Kano Eitoku and now form part of Murakami’s studio, Kaikai Kiki.

  • KaiKai app uses gamified experience to lure Hong Kong shoppers

    KaiKai app uses gamified experience to lure Hong Kong shoppers

    An app that blends the convenience of shopping by phone with in-store experience has been launched in Hong Kong.

    KaiKai has teamed with retailers to offer discounts on popular products of up to 50 percent, including Apple AirPods Pro, Dyson Supersonic hairdryers, and the Nintendo Switch gaming system. It bridges the online and offline worlds by allowing users to reserve the products within the app then pay for and collect them in-store, boosting footfalls for participating retailers.

    A KaiKai spokesperson says the app plans to add offers on services such as spas and beauty, dining and staycations, as well as luxury fashion retail in the near future. It has signed up popular influencers Sabrina Ng from Pomato YouTube Channel, Ah Gi from Arm Channel TV, and Hailey Chan from ViuTV to promote the app’s Hong Kong expansion.

    Within a week of being added to app stores in Hong Kong this month, KaiKai was ranked number one in the shopping category and third overall for downloads.

    The app works on the basis of an annual membership fee for users of HKD450 (US$58) which is being waived for the first year for the first 100,000 consumers who sign up. New deals are dropped at 12 noon and 8pm daily with users having 100 seconds to decide if they want to buy what they see before it becomes unavailable to them.

    A spokesman for the developer aid the app provides “a unique gamified shopping experience like no other”.

    “The thrill of managing to score something in the app continues in-store. KaiKai users enjoy the unique online-to-offline shopping experience: Reserve online, collect in-store later. After reserving the product with the KaiKai app, users have to redeem and pay in-store within seven days,” the spokesperson said.

    According to the South China Morning Post, the app was developed by mainland Chinese tech company Cosmose AI, known for tracking shopper locations for online advertising, but the company says KaiKai does not share user location data with Cosmose. It has already been launched in Singapore.
