Samsung is embracing a bold retro revival with the launch of its much-anticipated Y2K 4eva Collection, an exciting line of mobile accessories designed for today’s tech-savvy youth. This unique collection takes a playful trip down memory lane, celebrating the iconic Y2K aesthetic that defined the turn of the millennium, while adding a modern twist to Samsung’s latest Galaxy devices. Featuring collaborations with legendary brands Paul Frank and MILO, the Y2K 4eva Collection is set to bring nostalgic energy back to mobile accessories, with a fresh focus on personal expression.
The Y2K (Year 2000) era saw the explosion of digital culture, a time when flip phones, dial-up internet, and early online communities took center stage. Today, the Y2K aesthetic is making a resurgence, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z. These generations are embracing the bold, colorful designs and digital retrofuturism that defined the 2000s, infusing them with modern sensibilities.
Samsung’s Y2K 4eva Collection taps into this cultural wave, offering a series of mobile accessories that pay homage to the past while pushing the boundaries of style and technology. Whether it’s the Galaxy Z Flip6 Case featuring animated wallpapers or the Galaxy Buds3 Case, each accessory in this collection is designed to make a statement—one that fuses vintage flair with contemporary function.
One of the most exciting elements of the Y2K 4eva Collection is Samsung’s collaboration with two iconic brands: Paul Frank and MILO. These partnerships bring a touch of nostalgic charm to the collection, allowing fans to showcase their individuality with accessories inspired by two cultural touchstones.
For those who remember the fun-loving character Julius the Monkey, the Paul Frank Galaxy Z Flip6 Case will take them right back to a time of carefree fun. The case features animated wallpaper set in the whimsical “Planned Pines” universe, where Julius and his friends remind us of simpler, more playful times. Paul Frank’s distinct style—bold, quirky, and inclusive—makes this accessory perfect for fans looking to express their personal style with a bit of humor and nostalgia.
“Paul Frank has always been about embracing fun, lighthearted moments, and this collaboration with Samsung gives our fans a new way to engage with our characters,” said Michael Puglisi, Brand Director & Global Licensing, Futurity Brands. The collaboration is not just about accessories; it’s a celebration of creativity and individuality, with fans able to customize their devices with the playful Paul Frank aesthetic.
For many Southeast Asians, MILO is more than just a beverage—it’s a symbol of childhood, school days, and shared family moments. Samsung’s partnership with MILO brings a fresh take on this iconic brand, with a custom-designed MILO Galaxy Z Flip6 Case that incorporates the nostalgic MILO tin design. The collection brings the warmth and joy of MILO’s legacy to life, combining functionality with fond memories.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Samsung to bring a new twist to the Y2K aesthetic, especially for fans who grew up with MILO,” said Michelle Marie Avarillo, Global Category Business Head – Kids & Teens Nutrition at Nestlé. The MILO Galaxy Z Flip6 Case captures the essence of childhood joy while reflecting the energy and enthusiasm MILO has brought to generations of families across the region.
The Y2K 4eva Collection isn’t just about adding color to your device—it’s about using your accessories to tell your story. Each item in the collection is designed to serve as a canvas for self-expression, whether you’re a fan of bold patterns, animated wallpapers, or quirky characters.
In addition to the Galaxy Z Flip6 cases, the collection includes:
- Galaxy Z Flip6 Case with Animated Wallpaper: Choose from a variety of fun, dynamic designs to bring your device to life.
- Galaxy Buds3 Cases: A perfect match for your Galaxy Buds3, these cases feature the same Y2K-inspired designs, ensuring your earbuds stand out with playful charm.
- Griptoks and Sticker Sheets: Add some personality to your phone with custom Griptoks and sticker sheets that allow for creative customization.
