To be fair a lot of garments from Issey Miyake are made from similar material.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

One of the subtext reasons is that women’s’ clothing lacks proper pockets for whatever sexist reason, so a pocket you wear on the outside can seem like a great idea.

Surely you're not suggesting that modern women's fashion is governed by some vestigial sexism and not actual desires and wants of consumers who are otherwise spoiled for choice when it comes to any other property of their garments, whether functionality, style, colouring, percent coverage of any and all body parts, etc.

> We BUY so much stuff. Most of it unnecessary. Fixed it.

You're right, of course, but I don't think blame rests solely on the individual consumer here... I guess it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, wherein Apple makes $200 knitted iPhone scrotes because they know people will line up to buy it, and people will line up to buy $200 knitted iPhone scrotes because Apple made them. And people have brand loyalty to Apple stuff because quality, or design, or something... but…

This is the perfect example of a product nobody asked for, but someone brilliantly decided to create waste with.

Im not sure if you have spent any time in Asia but they love to have little throwaway bags for their to go drinks so they stay cold - and they hang in the same way. This looks like the exact same thing but pop an iphone in it.

Wild waste of materials and design.

I got excited for a moment, thought it was a new line of iPhone Mini -- you know, the actual handheld iPhones. I still use my 13 Mini. This was the biggest letdown of clicking a link since my last Rickroll in the early 2000's

Us iPhone 13 Mini holdouts need to get a little louder. It feels like I find more and more on the internet every month -- I'm pretty sure there're far more than just "dozens of us" who want a reasonably-sized phone.

It's November, but I still had to make sure the date on the page wasn't April 1st.

I came here to say, how I wish it was an article from The Onion.

Indeed, how exciting a phone would be that fit in... you know... bear with me... your pants' pocket you already have... lol
