Introduction to the iPhone Pocket by ISSEY MIYAKE – Short Strap

The iPhone Pocket by ISSEY MIYAKE – Short Strap is a special-edition accessory born from the collaboration between Apple and the fashion label ISSEY MIYAKE. Apple It’s not just a phone case — it’s a wearable textile piece designed to carry your iPhone (and a few other everyday items) in a stylish, modern way.

What Makes the Short Strap Edition Unique

Unlike a conventional phone sleeve or bag, this short strap version uses a “singular 3D-knitted construction” — essentially a knit piece of fabric formed into a pocket, inspired by the idea of “a piece of cloth”. Apple  The short strap edition is sized for wrist or handheld use, or to tie onto a bag, rather than the longer crossbody version.

Design Philosophy & Collaboration between Apple and ISSEY MIYAKE

The collaboration taps into ISSEY MIYAKE’s heritage of experimental fabric and pleating techniques, and Apple’s design ethos of simplicity and utility. The fabric has a ribbed open structure reminiscent of ISSEY’s original pleats. Apple  The brief: create an “additional pocket” for your iPhone and essentials — not just a case, but something you’ll wear. The partnership is positioned as a blending of luxury/fashion and tech-accessory.

Materials, Construction & Build Quality

Because the piece is knit in one continuous fabric, it avoids obvious seams or stitches that might feel bulky. The “open structure” means it can expand a little to accommodate items beyond the phone (e.g., AirPods, perhaps cards) though the accommodation is modest — meant more for minimal carry. The craftsmanship emphasises the luxury/fashion side of the accessory.

Colour Options – Lemon, Mandarin, Purple, Pink, Peacock, Sapphire, Cinnamon, Black

The colour palette is designed to allow users to “mix and match” with their iPhone’s colour — a nod to personalisation rather than one-size-fits-all. Apple With eight options in the short strap edition, you can tailor it based on outfit, phone colour, or mood.

How It Fits and Wears: Styling Tips for the Short Strap

• Handheld: simply hold it as a minimalist clutch for your iPhone and essentials.

• Outfit matching: Given the eight different colours, you can coordinate with your clothing. For instance: lemon for a light summer palette, black for formal settings, peacock or purple for a bolder statement.

Versatility: Handheld, Bag Attachment, Body Wear

Cons:

Who Should Buy the iPhone Pocket – Use-Case Scenarios

• Fashion conscious users who treat their phone as part of their outfit.

• Minimal-carry commuters who only take phone + AirPods + card.

• Brand loyalists / collectors of Apple special-edition accessories.

• Users who attend events / travel and like a strap-carry option rather than pocket or bag.

Also mention: matching accessory like a black ISSEY MIYAKE handbag, or contrasting colour for a pop-look.

Care Tips & Maintenance for the 3D-Knitted Fabric

• Avoid sharp objects or rough surfaces that might snag the knit.

• Keep away from liquids/major spills – fabric may stain or lose shape.

• When removing the phone, stretch gently rather than force.

• Store flat or hanging when not in use to keep the strap from deforming.

• For cleaning, check ISSEY MIYAKE instructions — likely gentle wipe or fabric detergent rather than machine wash.

Final Thoughts – Is It Worth It?

In your content you can summarise: This is an accessory that blends tech and high fashion. If you value the design, colour options, brand collaboration, and carry-style, the short strap version of iPhone Pocket can be a unique addition. For someone who treats their smartphone as part of their personal style, it offers a new way to carry. But if you’re focused primarily on protection, utility, or budget, the high starting price and limited function may mean other options would make more sense.
