Originally released in 1996, the handheld virtual pet became an absolute global phenomenon, selling more than 100 million units worldwide. Inspired by the fun retro aesthetic of Tamagotchi, the collection features an exclusive, fully functional Tamagotchi device wrapped in a custom Casetify logo shell, along with a 21-inch carry-on Bounce Suitcase – available in pastel primrose pink and cobalt blue – which you can customise with cute blocky fonts to add your name or initials next to your favourite Tamagotchi character.
