 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.

Is It Worth Buying in Nepal?

 

YES – Worth It If:

  • You value design and uniqueness

  • You’re an Apple collector or fan

  • You appreciate ISSEY MIYAKE’s fashion

  • You want a stylish minimal carry option

  • You want a luxury accessory, not utility

 

NO – Not Worth It If:

  • You want value for money

  • You need protection for your phone

  • You want more storage

  • You are rough with your devices

  • Your purpose is only practicality

For 90% of Nepali buyers: It’s NOT a practical product.
It is more of a luxury fashion item.

 

Similar Products in Nepal (Better Value Options)

Product Price Why Choose It

Apple Case + Lanyard Rs 10,000–15,000 Protects your iPhone + stylish

What Else Can You Buy Instead (Same Price)?

For Rs 23,000 – 37,000, you can get:

  • Premium earbuds (Sony, JBL, Nothing)

  • A smartwatch (Amazfit, Huawei, Realme)

  • A leather sling bag

  • A budget Android tablet

  • A full accessories bundle (case + powerbank + cable + charger)

  • High-quality lifestyle accessories

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

 

Who Should Actually Buy It?

Best For:

  • Fashion-forward users

  • Apple fans

  • ISSEY MIYAKE collectors

  • Content creators & influencers

  • Minimalists who carry very few items

Not For:

  • Value-focused buyers

  • People who drop phones often

  • Students wanting practical storage

  • Users needing protection

  • 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.
