I don’t think people here understand the pricing for this market category. This is not a phone case or a container, it is a handbag/shoulder bag, which can go for $100-500+ (do not underestimate the long tail for this market). The prominent display of Issey Miyake branding is indicative that this is a foray into fashion. Whether it looks good, or whether the Apple Pocket will be fashionable, is an open question, but it would be stupid and brand damaging for Apple to price this item lower.
- weddpros 11mo ago$1465: That's what a nylon+paper bag from Issey Miyake costs. Then the price of this cut-up sock makes sense: it's not an iPhone accessory, it's a luxury fashion item. https://www.ssense.com/en-th/women/product/issey-miyake/white-sculptural-convertible-vest-bag/18499091 https://www.ssense.com/en-th/women/product/issey-miyake/whit...
- NetOpWibby 11mo agoI used to love browsing SSENSE, trying to figure out fashion. I still don’t get it.
- RajT88 11mo agoI think the appeal of high fashion is indivisible from class signaling.
- foofoo12 11mo agoPeople understand exactly, hence the fuss. Someone finally yelled loud enough that the emperor has no clothes. People are shocked. It isn't a handbag. It isn't a shoulder bag. It doesn't look good. I won't be fashionable. It isn't a open question. It's a sock.
