Apple has once again bridged the gap between technology and high fashion through a collaboration with the iconic Japanese design house Issey Miyake, introducing the iPhone Pocket. Launched globally on November 14, this accessory transforms the smartphone from a mere device into a piece of wearable art. Developed in partnership between Apple Design Studio and Miyake Design Studio, the pocket pays homage to Miyake’s "A Piece of Cloth" philosophy, utilizing a 3D knit technique crafted from a single continuous thread.
Available in a short-handle version for $149.95 and a crossbody style for $229.95, the iPhone Pocket offers versatility for various personal styles. With a palette ranging from vibrant Mandarin and Sapphire to earthy Cinnamon and classic Black, the accessory features a semi-transparent ribbed texture that elegantly showcases the iPhone screen while providing extra space for AirPods or small essentials. This Made-in-Japan collection elevates Apple’s traditional case lineup, adding a sophisticated aesthetic dimension to the brand’s design legacy.
This partnership underscores Apple’s ambition to lead not just in innovation, but in global lifestyle and fashion trends. The iPhone Pocket serves as a testament to how digital tools are becoming integral components of our personal style, blending functionality with a unique sensory experience. By merging Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, Apple and Issey Miyake have created a must-have item that resonates with both tech enthusiasts and fashion connoisseurs alike.
