Capulet’s new line of iPhone wristlets serves as more than just a phone case


By Arta Ghanbari | December 6, 2011


With Christmas two weeks away, shopping malls have just about reached their limits. Thirty-minute line-ups at the cash register, clothes tossed on display tables, mannequins missing half their outfits and worst of all the question of what to buy.

Unless you know what your loved one has their eye on, clothing can really be the worst and most difficult present to find. Dealing with sizes, colours, flattering cuts, patterns, and what they need or like is exhausting. After all that, you might still end up with a fake smile and lukewarm “Thanks, I love it.”

If there’s one thing we all have in common these days it’s cell phones. And for the fashion lovers on your list, Capulet’s new iPhone wristlets are a stylish and useful gift. Starting at $365, they come in colours such as seashell white, sunset red, powder blue, jet black and cobalt. The wristlets are made from French and Italian leather and are made in England.

In addition to the internal iPhone compartment, the wristlets leave room for credit cards, change and even lipstick.

"I wanted to create a wristlet that was relevant to today's modern woman,” says Capulet’s head of design, Joyce Lin. “It needed to be a minimalist design, carry all the essentials, and seamlessly transition from day to evening.”

And indeed it does just that. The wristlets are a refreshing change from the too-small clutches that leave you carrying your phone or leaving behind your powder because it won’t fit.
