"You can't catch the sunset every day—unless you carry one with you."
To mark the 2nd anniversary of its Sunset Collection, PITAKA launched a global visual campaign titled Carry the Sunset. Keep the Moment. More than a celebration of natural beauty, the campaign sought to transform the "sunset" hue into a shared, lasting, and participatory element of the brand's culture.
The Making of a Sunset: How a Color Became an Emotional Language
Two years ago, PITAKA pioneered the transformation of the emotional essence of "sunset" into a tangible form. In its first experiment, the brand achieved a natural gradient on aramid fiber by using a technique that captured the warmth of fabric and the fluid beauty of nature. This went beyond simple dyeing or printing; it was a precise manipulation of color transitions within high-strength fibers. By merging material innovation with visual narrative, PITAKA crafted an "immersive design experience" at the crossroads of emotion and logic.
Inspired by the gentle glow of dusk, the Sunset Collection featured a gradient palette shifting from pale gold to burnt orange and deep blue-violet. It captured both the transient beauty of sunlight filtering through the atmosphere and the calm of slow-paced urban moments. Since its debut, the collection had become one of PITAKA's top sellers, often selling out and widely imitated, cementing a distinct and recognizable visual identity across platforms.
For PITAKA, it was more than a trending color. It was a perceptible rhythm, a connection between individuals and their surroundings, and a lasting exploration of how technology and aesthetics can harmonize.
The Meaning of Design: Not to Flatter the Eye, But to Echo Emotion
In an age of visual overload, PITAKA opted not for spectacle, but for connection—forging deeper bonds between people and objects through thoughtful materials and minimalist, purposeful design. From the start, the Sunset Collection had been more than a product; it was a design experiment. Could technical materials evoke the subtle gradients of fading sunlight? Could phone cases, power banks, and earphone covers transcend their utilitarian roles to become carriers of emotion in everyday life?
PITAKA aimed to infuse every product with romance, healing, and rhythm through the visual language of "sunset." More than just a collection name, "sunset" had evolved into a symbol of the lifestyle and aesthetics PITAKA champions.
They invited users worldwide to co-create their own "sunset moments," which further expanded the dialogue around perception, emotion, and design.
From Innovation to Co-Creation: How PITAKA Brought Global Sunset Moments to Life
PITAKA launched a global online campaign built around its signature "sunset" palette, inviting users to co-create emotionally resonant moments. Through dedicated social media channels, participants joined the "Sunset One-Liner Challenge" and the "Sunset Moment Collection," with top entries earning exclusive rewards. For full details, follow the links (Facebook and Reddit). Alternatively, visitors to PITAKA's official website "captured" their favorite sunset moment and received a custom-made, sunset-themed bookmark. Whether it was a twilight glow outside your window, a golden-hour snapshot, or a quiet dusk scene—they shared their personal "sunset moment." All submissions were compiled into an evolving digital artwork: the "Global Sunset Mosaic."
What PITAKA truly sought was to transform the sunset from a visual moment into a lasting memory—one that accompanies you in everyday life. To bring this vision to life, PITAKA also introduced new Sunset Editions of the following products:
- PITAKA Aramid Fiber Case with Capacitive Camera Control Buttons: Designed with capacitive shutter buttons for instant photo capture, this case helps you seize fleeting moments—be it the golden glow of sunset or a silhouette selfie. One tap is all it takes to capture inspiration on the go.
- PITAKA Aramid Fiber Magnetic Power Bank: Effortless recharging through magnetic attachment keeps creativity flowing on the move. Let the essence of "Sunset" power your journey of expression.

- PITAKA Aramid Fiber Magnetic Case: Every time you open it to play music, it feels like pressing play on the soundtrack to your own sunset moment.
PITAKA's mission was to infuse technology products with more emotional expressiveness. The brand believed great design was more than multi-functional—it was also a trigger of sensory experiences. Through its "Chasing the Sunset" initiative, PITAKA aimed to empower users to become storytellers, sharers, and creators of emotions in everyday life.
The campaign went live on PITAKA's official website and social media platforms (Facebook and Reddit), accompanied by a limited-time flash sale that celebrated "sunset moments." Open to both new and returning users, it invited everyone to redefine what "sunset" means in the digital age through lenses, stories, and products.
