SINGAPORE – Sakura season is in full bloom, as evidenced by the hordes of tourists who have descended upon Japan in search of the pink blossoms.

Yet, according to a survey by travel booking site Klook, three in five Singapore travellers end up missing cherry blossoms despite timing their trips around them.

Capitalising on the global love for these ephemeral flowers, fashion and beauty brands have taken to releasing limited-edition merchandise decorated with the gentle blooms. And just like the actual sakura, these are around for only a short time.

Missed the real deal or simply grounded at home, and want a taste of springtime? The Straits Times rounds up the most charming sakura-themed products.

Casetify

Sport sakura on your phone case with the new Sakura Collection from global tech accessories brand Casetify.

The collection features soft pastel tones and enchanting floral motifs, with five new in-house prints available for all case types – ranging from the Impact Case to Mirror Case.

Each design ($99 each) showcases the flower in unique formats. Choose from a Pantone-like background with a photorealistic cherry blossom print, a baby-blue scene with sakura motif and a “3D-like” print of a sakura cartoon flower.

For minimalists, there is also the brand’s Ripple Case in a new Primrose Pink ($85), made from silicone.

Should you prefer something more subtle, the collection also includes Casetify’s classic accessories in the same prints. Charms ($57) round out the selection.
