# Suave Steampunk Mancessories Steampunk USB Cufflinks are Perfect for Artistic Geeks By Michael Hines | Published 2011-03-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-usb-cufflinks References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/18/steampunk-usb-cufflinks-are-as-awesome-as-they-are-pricey/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/70101754/mechanical-memory-usb-cufflinks?ref=pr_shop) No suave steampunk superfan's wardrobe would be complete without a pair of steampunk USB cufflinks. These steampunk USB cufflinks are a custom creation from [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keyboard-wrist-rest) merchant Artype and are made out of old watch parts. The best part about these steampunk USB cufflinks is that they have a purpose even when you are nowhere near a computer. A good pair of cufflinks are hard to come by, and a good pair of cufflinks that also double as an [8GB USB drive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extreme-fit-usb-c) were unheard of until now. Of course all of this goodness will set you back a couple of bucks; the [Steampunk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-espresso-machine) USB Cufflinks sell for a pricey $225. That's a small price to pay when you consider the fact that you are getting 16GB of memory *and* a one-of-a-kind pair of cufflinks. I'd start saving now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Steampunk Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create novel and functional accessories that combine vintage aesthetics with modern technology. - **Multipurpose Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design jewelry pieces that serve dual purposes, such as combining fashion with practical storage capabilities. - **Customized Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer personalized and unique accessories that are tailored to individual preferences, such as using repurposed materials or incorporating specific themes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology into fashion products to create innovative and unique designs. - **Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential for jewelry to go beyond mere aesthetics and incorporate practical features or functionalities. - **Personalized Gifts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop customized gift options that cater to individuals looking for unique and meaningful presents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Energizing Gold-Plated Cufflinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5-hour-energy-cufflinks.md) - [Shirt Cuff-Integrated Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuff-watch.md) - [Icon-Shaped USB Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folderdrive.md) - [Object-Resembling USB Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandisk-1.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Storage Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-discovery-flash-drives.md) - [Retro Tech Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floppy-disk-wallet.md) - [Steampunk Desktop Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3in1-desk.md) - [Modern Aluminum USB Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitlounge.md) - [Steampunk Aesthetic Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-espresso-machine.md)
