# Sci-Fi Tech Fashion Accessories The R2-D2 Flashdrive Cufflinks sre Appropriate for Work or a Gala By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-06-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r2d2-flashdrive-cufflinks References: [bitrebels](http://www.bitrebels.com/geek/r2-d2-usb-flash-drive-cufflinks-will-make-the-geek-girls-swoon/) & [cufflinks](http://www.cufflinks.com/r2d2-usb-flash-drive-cufflinks.html) Fashion, work-ready and geek chic, the R2-D2 Flashdrive Cufflinks are perfect for the modern man. Lucasfilm approved, the cufflinks are not cheap, coming in at $200; however, the price may very well be worth it when Star Wars fans flock to you at the next Sci-Fi convention. Silver plated with enamel, the cufflinks are modeled after the [popular blue and white robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g1t4m1n1-droid) from the [Star Wars franchise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2). Each cufflink also acts as a 2BG hard drive, allowing you to carry around up to 4GB of valuable information on you in a discreet and style-savvy manner. Many contemporary [USB sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandisk-1) are concealable, doubling as either a key chain or some miniature figurine. Only a select few flashdrives can complement one's fashion attire, and even fewer can accomplish that while elevating Sci-Fi apparel to an elegant new level. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geek Chic Fashion:** There is a growing trend of incorporating geek-inspired elements into fashion, creating unique and stylish looks. - **Fashionable Tech Accessories:** There is an increasing demand for fashion accessories that also serve a technological purpose, merging style with functionality. - **Discreet Storage Devices:** There is a trend towards developing portable storage devices that can be discreetly integrated into everyday accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory brands have an opportunity to tap into the market for tech-inspired accessories that blend style with functionality. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can explore the development of stylish and discreet storage devices that cater to fashion-conscious individuals. - **Geek Culture and Entertainment:** Geek culture and entertainment companies can collaborate with fashion brands to create unique and geek chic products that appeal to fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Themed Hard Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firecuda-external-hard-drives.md) - [Sci-Fi Series Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-star-wars-day.md) - [Subtly Sci-Fi Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Gamer SSDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/external-ssd-drives.md) - [Laser Sword Hard Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seagate-lightsaber-collection-firecuda-ssd.md) - [Sci-Fi-Branded Special-Edition Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-technica-r2-d2.md) - [Collaboration Sci-Fi Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-casetify-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mandalorian-x-casetify.md)
