Balenciaga phone strap: Love it or Hate it? Show us what u use it for...

[bagluv5000]

...another HG.

 

[Vida from Milan]

I saw it at Bal Milan, but didn't really like it.
The only thing I don't like about BBags is the difference of color between the leather and the rope of the handles...and the phone strap consists in this!!!Well, only in a few bags this color difference is not so pronounced because of the similar saturation, but I saw the bubblegum strap, and I have to say I didn't like it. The two colors in there were really different...I think it could be great in black, white (as Bal wisely put on the website) or other colors that don't show this difference of saturation.
Here's what I mean:

The price? Here in Italy 95€...

[ladybugfreckle]

they have the on the bal ecommerce site now: http://www.balenciaga.com/us/en/bal.../Others/P-City-Phone-Strap-Lambskin-Main.aspx

i wonder how they hold up?

 

[beauxgoris]

Anyone have one of these yet? Would it work on a blackberry? I wish the cord were shorter - I'm worried that it would break, then what?

 

[REREsaurus]

^^ Thought you had one? Are we still discussing the phone strap?

Edit, nevermind. =P

 

[beauxgoris]

^Nope I never got one. It seemed like the cord was too long. Just checking in to see if anyone else got one.

my friend uses this as a keychain, the strap is attached to her car key

 

[shopboy]

^^ oh, that sounds like a great idea! Now i wonder if it'll fit nicely in the CP with the keys.

 

[MJDaisy]

does anyone have a pic with their phone with one?

 

[beauxgoris]

^^yes we need photos!

I have one, it's really cute. Definitely not big enough to wear on the wrist, but it does help make grabbing the phone out of my bags easier.

Here it is in comparison to other accessories:

[FW '06 Rouge Vif Money, SS '05 Turquoise Coin & Planet, SS '07 Vert Gazon Mini Compagnon, SS '08 Bubblegum Silver Giant Coin, FW '04 Black
Mini-Mini Coin, SS '08 Electric Blue Cell Strap, '05 Black Planet]

RDC thanks for posting the comparison pics of the phone strap with the other accessories. The EB strap is soo cute but it looks like it has PH? I wonder why they would do that when the the bags have brass hardware?

^ Yeah, it has shiny silver hardware which I thought was nickel, but the website states "palladium plated metal hardware", so maybe the nickel is underneath. This hardware seems to get used on holiday limited edition items often too because it really pops!
