Apple  has partnered with the iconic Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE to launch the iPhone Pocket, a premium 3D-knitted wearable pocket designed to carry any iPhone. But with an expected Nepal price above Rs 23,000, many buyers are wondering: Is it worth the money? Here’s a detailed Nepal-focused review to help you decide.

What Exactly Is the iPhone Pocket?

The iPhone Pocket is a fashion-first wearable accessory created through a rare collaboration between Apple and ISSEY MIYAKE, known for its artistic, minimal, and futuristic designs.

Think of it as:

 A mini wearable pocket
 A stylish cross-body phone holder
 A functional fashion accessory that fits any iPhone

Built from a single piece of 3D-knitted Japanese fabric, the iPhone Pocket stretches naturally to hold an iPhone along with small essentials like AirPods, cash, or cards.

It’s not just a bag — it’s a fashion statement.

The entire product is inspired by ISSEY MIYAKE’s pleated textile art, giving it a premium, soft, and sculpted look.

This clearly shows that the iPhone Pocket is not practical, but a fashion luxury.

Who Should Actually Buy It?

Best For:

• Minimalists who carry very few items

• Value-focused buyers

• Anyone wanting utility over style

Final Verdict — iPhone Pocket in Nepal

The iPhone Pocket is undoubtedly one of Apple’s most stylish collaborations ever. Beautifully crafted, lightweight, artistic — it feels like a designer accessory.

But in Nepal, with a price starting above Rs 23,000, it becomes a luxury fashion item, not a practical everyday carry.

 Buy It If:

You want a premium, unique, designer Apple accessory.

 Skip It If:

You need protection, storage, or value for money.
