Kenzo created a luxurious line of cell phone accessories

Storied Japanese label Kenzo is the latest high-end retailer to launch a line of stylish phone accessories, following in the footsteps of Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Gucci and Hermès. As fashionistas increasingly demand designer cases for their iPhones and BlackBerries, luxury houses are cashing in on the trend.

ModeLabs, a French manufacturer and distributor of mobile phones and related accessories with operations in France, China, Hong Kong, Italy, the UK and US, is partnering with Kenzo to manufacture a line of chic yet affordable phone cases that will debut this December.

The Kenzo leather phone covers are manufactured in Turkey and feature the label's signature whimsical flower print on the interior lining of the cases. The Origami cover, available in black, red and white leather, comes in a universal size. A dark red leather phone case for women is cleverly disguised as a wristlet. The products will be available for sale in France at Kenzo boutiques and French phone service provider Orange. International launch information has not yet been released.
The Kenzo designer accessories come at a more affordable price range of €19.90 EUR ($28) to €49 ($68)./AFP
