Felipe Lima produced a video celebrating the launch of Incase and Arkitip’s fifth installment of the Curated by Arkitip project with famed Paris graffiti artist André. You can see the accompanying cases here.
The latest installment of Incase’s ongoing Curated by Arkitip series pays tribute to French know-how, melding the present and past over an iPhone Slider Case and MacBook Pro 15″ Laptop Sleeve. Street artist André combined chic aesthetics and traditional French iconography with the signature look of his Mr. A character in a celebration of his hometown of Paris, France. Now available at colette.

After the laptop bag, we get a first preview of the iPhone 3G slider case today, that comes from the Curated by Arkitip x Incase x Andre collaboration. The case comes in white and features the French tricolor theme. Hopefully we can soon show you the complete line-up of product and give you a release date.
The Curated by Arkitip for Incase series enters its 5th installment. This time they worked with Parisian artist Andre on laptop sleeves and iPhone cases.
“The André 15” Sleeve pays homage to the artist-turned-entrepreneur’s lasting legacy, featuring custom co-branded zipper pulls with the distinctive “Mr. A” character that once proliferated the streets of Paris.
We’ll have more information on the release date shortly.
Today Arkitip will be opening once again the physical Arkitip Shop. The store will open up in Los Angeles from 12pm to 6pm and will offer not only all current product, but also some great pieces from the Arkitip archive.

Finally we get a full look at the latest issue from Arkitip Magazine. This time they worked with long time collaborator and artist Steven Harrington.
In addition to providing a comprehensive survey of previous and new work, complete with previously unpublished process photographs, Issue No. 0052 debuts a new body of work created by Steven and frequent collaborator Justin Krietemeyer entitled The Desert: 128 Miles northeast of Los Angeles. A look at the production of the work here below.
A feather bookmark is tucked into each copy of this Issue Edition, and it is wrapped in a 100% Jamaican Cotton Scarf. This scarf is kindly supported by Sixpack France. Steven has also signed a few copies of Arkitip No. 0052, and those copies are also available, but only while supplies last. To commemorate the release of this issue edition, Steven has created a very limited run (closed edition of 20 + 2 APs) of hand-painted silk screen prints.
After the jump a look at the issue edition and also at the limited edition screenprint.
After a stellar contribution to Incase’s Curated By Arkitip project, Steven Harrington’s artwork serves as the basis of the next issue of Arkitip. Last January, after much preparation, Arkitip spent a few days in the desert with Steven, Justin Krietemeyer, and photographer Brigette Sire. The new body of work entitled The Desert: 128 Miles east of Los Angeles. September 1st, 2009 will mark the official release of Arkitip No. 0052, however; the issue is now available for pre-order at the discounted price of $35.00.
Arkitip’s Elist subscribers who pre-order will receive a 4 x 6 In. matte photo print from The Desert: 128 Miles east of Los Angeles, created specifically for issue 0052 of Arkitip, signed by Steven Harrington & Justin Krietemeyer on the reverse. Not a bad deal at all.
