The two design wonders also partnered with case makers Incase for an extra special issue. While KAWS has designed an Arkitip cover before, the American creative decided to do something more than a cover featuring his distorted artwork. Instead, the artist teamed with the Incase company to create a custom 13-inch laptop sleeve made out of debossed synthetic leather. This exclusive sleeve features KAWS' signature artwork embedded into the leather along with custom embossed zipper pulls and an imprinted pattern on the inside sleeve. Inside the case is where readers can find the KAWS x Incase x Arkitip magazine issue, which features work from KAWS as well as Scott Campbell, Matthew Hollister and other talented artists. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Design:** The collaboration between KAWS, Incase, and Arkitip showcases the trend of artists and brands joining forces to create unique products. - **Customized Accessories:** The custom debossed synthetic leather laptop sleeve highlights the trend of personalized and exclusive accessories for technology devices. - **Artistic Integration:** The incorporation of KAWS' signature artwork into the laptop sleeve demonstrates the trend of merging art and technology in innovative ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The collaboration presents opportunities for artists and designers to showcase their work through technology accessories. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The personalized laptop sleeve highlights the growing demand for customized and unique accessories in the fashion industry. - **Technology and Gadgets:** The integration of artwork into the laptop sleeve creates potential for disruptive innovation in the tech and gadget industry by combining aesthetics with functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artwork-Covered Laptop Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asus-x-steven-harrington-vivobook-13-slate.md) - [Shock-Absorbing Laptop Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-5.md) - [Artistic Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-takashi-murakami.md) - [Leather-Accented Laptop Sleeves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/padded-laptop-sleeve.md) - [Fray-Free Fabric Laptop Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-laptop-case.md) - [Japanese-Character-Inspired Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-dob-collection.md) - [Ultra-Slim Laptop Sleeves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraslim-laptop-sleeve.md) - [Dual-Material Laptop Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardgraft-5050-macbook-pro-sleeve.md) - [Character Art-Infused Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moynat-x-kasing.md)
