The fifth installment of Curated by Arkitip features original André artwork—the distinctive “Mr. A” character that brought him street fame in Paris—screen-printed on an iPhone Slider Case as well as on a MacBook Sleeve, which features faux-leather construction, cotton-lined interior and André-branded YKK zipper pulls.
