even if you missed the preliminary pictures from Louis Vuitton’s spring 2017 runway show in Paris, you’ve most likely seen chatter around the fashion Web concerning the show’s many buzz-worthy piece: the Louis Vuitton Etui iphone 7 Case, influenced by the Louis Vuitton small Malle Clutch. solid info has been scarce, however we’ve scoured fashion sites, social network as well as message boards to discover all the details available, including prices, pics as well as when the already sought-after situations may be offered for purchase.
The small Malle was one of innovative director Nicolas Ghesquiere’s very first bag debuts when he took the helm at Louis Vuitton in 2013, as well as its tiny, trunk-like shape has shown a strong canvas for a range of leathers, prints as well as embellishments. For spring 2017, numerous of those essential details, including the small Malle’s trim as well as lock, have been reimagined in the type of the Etui Case, which will be offered for both iphone 7 as well as iphone 7 Plus.

So far, we understand both sizes will be offered in a number of of LV’s printed canvases, in addition to crocodile. In the US, the canvas versions are priced at $1,155 for the 7 as well as $1,230 for the 7 Plus, according to quotes provided to one of our PurseForum members by her sales partner at Vuitton.

We’ve discovered no particular release dates for the situations yet, as well as our tPFers have been told a number of different things by their sales associates at Louis Vuitton; one consumer had heard the Etui will hit stores as early as late November (in time for holiday gifts!), while others have heard it’ll be January at the earliest. Either way, if you believe you’ll be wanting on of these cases, it would be smart to get in touch with your regional Louis Vuitton shop as well as put an purchase in now–we’ve seen sufficient chatter to believe that these situations will produce a significant wait list, as well as based on their popular setting on the runway as well as their pre-show tease on Nicolas Ghesquiere’s Instagram, Vuitton seems positive that demand will be high when they hit stores.
Even though four figures for an iphone situation was sufficient to make lots of Vuitton-obsessed tPFers feel skeptical, the situations are far much more comprehensive than the ones you see similar brands selling in the mid-three figures. Not only do numerous of the small Malle’s completes make the shift from bag to case, however the Etui situations likewise include a clochette to store the wireless earbuds that will now be required without the previous iPhones’ audio jack. It appears like the brand went to pains to guarantee utilizing the Etui situation would be a high-end experience on par keeping that of its bags, which so far doesn’t truly exist on the designer phone situation market–designers have long been keen on making small bags or folios for phones, however none of them have gotten especially major about producing luxe hard-shell cases, which are favored by many consumers on the larger market.
