I’m so old that I can remember a time before mobile phones. How things have changed. Nowadays our phone is practically an extension of our very being – if you’ve ever experienced the acute panic attack associated with losing it or, worse, having it stolen you’ll know exactly what I mean.
So what pleasure to combine stylish top fashion with strong protection for our precious communicator? That’s why I was thrilled to check out the limited edition MAHARISHI x CASETiFY collection – tagline, ‘THE NAMES ARE MANY, THE TRUTH IS ONE’.
Many of you’ll be familiar with the distinctive brand Maharishi, founded by British designer Hardy Blechman – famous for Army surplus/Japanese/Indian fusion. Maharishi promotes central core values of military pacifism, mixing camouflage t-shirts and hoodies with floral and tiger prints. I just love the designs.
And then there’s CASETiFY, the global tech accessory brand, whose mission is to turn your personal electronics into stylishly slim, drop-proof accessories. But there’s more, CASETiFY doesn’t just mindlessly churn out accessories, it has a serious research and development Re/CASETiFY and Ultra Compostable programme to create very high-quality materials, and to protect the planet too. I’m pretty impressed, so let me tell you more.
CASETiFY have developed a phone case material that’s as durable as other plastics but much better for the Earth, utilising old phone cases plus manufacturing scraps and plant-derived bio-plastics. CASETiFY’s ecotify™ is made from 100% biodegradable biopolymers, starch and bamboo fibres, and uses eco-friendly ink meaning each phone case breaks down seamlessly into the earth and no toxins are left behind. Not only this, but the recycled materials are combined with the innovative shockproof material, qìtech™ to provide optimal protection, superior impact resistance and sustainability in an ultra-sleek phone case. And as if all this wasn’t enough, an antibacterial DEFENSiFY coating eliminates 99% of bacteria to protect your phone and you from germs. How many other Accessory designers do all this?
I adore the lovely phone cases in the MAHARISHI x CASETiFY collection – the subtle merging of camouflage with tiger skin is so beautiful, stylish and quirky. And for busy people who need both hands free, the military-style lanyard is so useful, with a neat strap card to attach the phone and case. Products in the collection include iPhone and iPad Cases, Apple Watch Bands and Macbook Snap Cases, not to mention a rather special skateboard for the more active amongst us.
The MAHARISHI x CASETiFY collection is available online and in CASETiFY Studio locations, with products shipping to more than 100+ countries. Check it out at casetify.com and why not download the new CASETiFY Co-Lab app (in App Store).? The Co-Lab program is renowned for tapping top artists, big celebrities and creatives so well worth a look.
