Poppy Lissiman’s CASETiFY capsule brought her colourful, eclectic design language to phone cases, laptop sleeves, chargers and watchbands. In an August 2024 interview with PerthNow, the Perth-born designer also described Tokyo’s fashion subcultures and her experience living there. Her remarks are a snapshot from that interview, not a current update on product availability or her life in Japan.
What was the Poppy Lissiman CASETiFY collection?
It was a collaboration that took prints associated with Lissiman’s accessories into tech products. PerthNow’s August 13, 2024 interview described the capsule as including phone cases, laptop sleeves, chargers and watchbands. The collection was reported as available at the time; the interview does not establish whether any items remain in stock today.

The article said the collaboration’s prints reworked designs from Lissiman’s best-selling styles as well as unreleased pieces. For readers looking for a particular phone case, the interview confirms that phone cases were part of the range, but does not identify compatible devices, prices or current listings.
What inspired the collection’s prints?
Lissiman named Amish quilts, the work of artist John Divola and Wong Kar-wai’s film In the Mood for Love as sources of inspiration. The result, as described in the interview, connected vivid abstract and floral imagery with references drawn from textiles, contemporary art and cinema.

She also said she had been enjoying making custom prints and was considering how to take them into more wearable pieces beyond sarongs. That was an idea she discussed in 2024, rather than confirmation of a later product release.

Lissiman told PerthNow she loved living in a place that felt like “a proper culture shock and different to any other major western, super city.” She described her own experience as “independent and safe.” Those are her personal impressions of living in Tokyo, not a general assessment of safety or daily life for everyone in the city.
Fashion was another part of the city that stood out to her. She said, “Outfits are very considered and put together; there is also a lot of niche aesthetics when it comes to what kind of fashion tribe some people subscribe to.” She particularly enjoyed seeing counterculture movements such as Lolita Gothic and Gyaru.
On Tokyo’s summer, she said: “Summer in Tokyo is awful, it’s super humid, rains a lot and is over 30 degrees most days.” This is her description in an August interview, not an independently measured climate statistic.
When did Poppy Lissiman move back to Australia?
The two PerthNow reports give different accounts of how long Lissiman had lived in Tokyo, so their timelines should be kept distinct rather than combined. In the August 13, 2024 interview, she said she expected to move back to Australia that month after a year in Tokyo, adding: “I’m moving back to Australia (this month) so currently squeezing every little morsel of goodness out of this wonderfully inspiring country.”
A November 30, 2024 PerthNow follow-up said she had moved back in August after more than two years in Tokyo. The reports agree on the month of her return but differ on the stated length of her stay.
What did Lissiman plan after returning?
The November 2024 follow-up reported that Lissiman planned to return to clothing design with a line of kaftans after about a decade focused on accessories. It quoted her describing the kaftans as “bold, colourful and a little bit left of centre.” The report explained that bags and sunglasses had appealed as accessories because they involved lower overheads and were one-size and trans-seasonal products. The article described a plan, not proof that the kaftans are currently available.
