# Pirate Self Portrait Eye Patch & Parrot Mirror By Bianca | Published 2007-10-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pirate-self-portrait-eye-patch-parrot-mirror References: [uncrate](http://www.uncrate.com/men/home/art-decor/pirate-self-portrait-mirror/) Unleash your inner swashbuckler with the Pirate Self Portrait Mirror deigned by Jeannie Choe and Steven Tomlinson. The 16" x 12" mirror has etched out patches that make it appear as if you're wearing an eye patch. If you capture the right alignment with your reflection, the silhouette of a parrot should also rest on your shoulder. With the [pirate phenomenon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-icons-set) still very much afloat, this mirror is the perfect way to channel your inner treasure hunting crusader without having to leave the house in ridiculous apparel. Yarrr, no pirate (other than Jack Sparrow) would put themselves in situations that evoke shame and mockery. They also have [self portrait mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imirror) featuring a mustache, half a skull and a bird on a twig. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pirate-inspired Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of pirate-themed home decor items that allow individuals to embrace their inner swashbuckler without leaving their house. - **Interactive Mirrors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop mirrors with etched designs that create interactive and playful reflections, enhancing the user's experience. - **Nostalgia Consumer Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Tap into the trend of nostalgia by designing products that evoke childhood memories and allow individuals to explore their favorite themes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine technology and design to create unique and interactive home decor items that cater to niche interests like pirates. - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the fashion accessories market by designing wearable items that incorporate playful and interactive elements, like the eye patch mirror. - **Gift and Novelty:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of novelty items that tap into popular trends and provide consumers with unique and entertaining gift options, such as the pirate self-portrait mirror. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Illusory Doorway Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panis-mirror.md) - [Curvaceous Shelf-Paired Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-mirror.md) - [One-of-a-Kind Ceramic Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-mirror.md) - [Geometrical Golden Ratio Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascension-wall-mirror.md) - [Wavy Dual-Action Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archvyli.md) - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Artful Hanging Contemporary Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-hang.md)
