Louis Vuitton just raised the tech luxury bar with the unveiling of its eye-trunk for iPhone 7-plus. The iPhone case costs $5,500 which is the cost of seven iPhones. The luxurious case was unveiled at Louis Vuitton Fashion Show
The company said:
“The Eye-Trunk for iPhone 7 Plus in precious Golden Crocodile leather seen at Louis Vuitton Fashion Show pays a tribute to the House origins as a trunk designer. More than a protective cover, this new Nicolas Ghesquière statement establishes itself as the ultimate fashionable accessory of the season.”
It is already available for sale here on the company’s official website.
The dimension of the case is 3.1 x 6.3 x 0.4 inches (Length x Height x Width); it was made from Golden Crocodile leather; has Microfiber lining and comes with a key tag.
The case is part of a series of iPhone cases launched by Louis Vuitton this week, and they are all called the Eye-Trunk. They’re sized for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and prices range from $1,180 for an iPhone 7 case with a canvas back and traditional Louis Vuitton pattern to $5,500 for an iPhone 7 Plus-sized case with crocodile leather on it. They’re supposed to be throwbacks to Louis Vuitton’s history as a luggage designer.
Buying one all but guarantees that you’ll have the fanciest iPhone in the room. But it also has the unfortunate side effect of making you need a case for your iPhone case, because these iPhone cases are dramatically more expensive than the phone itself — you can buy about seven iPhone 7s for the price of Louis Vuitton’s top-of-the-line case. So if you pick one up, be careful: if you drop your phone, you might scratch your case.
