Your phone isn’t merely a gadget; it’s your lifestyle. And if you have an appreciation for the finer things in life, you’re likely to take a fancy to Connexion d’Art’s bespoke iPhone, the phone equivalent of the coveted Hermes Birkin bag – thanks to its elegant and sophisticated craftsmanship.

Customised according to your tastes and preferences, these high-end works of art are hand-crafted individually for the ultimate hand-feel, by the same artisans who work for renowned French luxury houses. As a result, each piece is unique. There’s a wide range of colours and limited edition designs to choose from, and the best part is: all the leathers – including water-resistant alligator skin – are sustainably sourced and certified REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). You can also emboss names and initials onto the leather or engrave onto the metal casing upon special request.

In case you’re thinking of just switching up your iPhone case, it’s worth nothing that Connexion d’Art does not accept pre-owned phones due to insurance and shipping costs. The Parisian brand only modifies brand-new devices, and the process includes embedding the leather into the metal. Every iPhone by Connexion d’Art also comes in a lovely handmade box, and you can add on a pair of Listen headphones from French luxury audio brand Focal.

Connexion d’Art smartphones are available in selected outlets in Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok. Note that customisations requires a lead time between four to five weeks. Prices start from 2,750 euros for the second edition, which includes the iPhone 7 and 7Plus.
