Leather turns AirPod cases into fashion statements

06/02/2020

Now that Apple’s AirPods are becoming more commonplace, consumers are further distinguishing the $159 (or more) wireless earbuds by storing them in luxury brand leather cases.

As Esquire magazine recently pointed out, brands such as Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bottega Veneta and Prada are offering leather options that are essentially the “brand's signature designs miniaturised”.

Burberry offers a grainy leather monogrammed case, Prada’s Saffiano leather version can be attached to a shoulder strap, Bottega Veneta makes a case in classic intrecciato woven leather (pictured) and Saint Laurent’s is made with soft calfskin leather. For the most part, these AirPod cases cost more than the buds themselves.
