Still using headphones with wires attached? We’re so sorry.
But before AirPod owners get too smug about being on-trend, here’s some important news: if you’re using the standard Apple case for your earbuds, you’re living your life wrong.
That’s according to the world of high fashion, anyway.
Rather than faffing about with a little case stashed away in the depths of your handbag, Chanel proposes a new solution: An AirPods necklace.
The label has made a number of AirPod case accessories – including a chain belt and a necklace that allows you to slot your buds directly into the special clasps – but the fanciest of them all has to be the AirPods Case Pro Necklace, retailing at £2,060 (or $2,675 in the US).
This design makes your AirPods the centre of attention, which we guess you’d want after dropping hundreds on a way to listen to your playlists.
A lambskin case emblazoned with the Chanel logo in diamante hangs from a white peark necklace, finished with the classic lambskin chain that usually appears on the brand’s iconic handbags.
Chanel recommends wearing this piece either as a necklace or crossbody, for easy AirPod access as you accessorise.
If you don’t have the Pro AirPods, don’t worry – you can still spend an obscene amount of money on a case for your listening devices.
The standard AirPods case necklace costs the same as the pro edition, but has a black case rather than a white one.
Alternatively, you can go minimalistic with a chain that lets your AirPods dangle wild and free, for £830, or embrace the classic Chanel pearl necklace with the same dangling feature, plus the CC logo, for £1,270.
Or you could just buy a regular AirPod case online for under a tenner. You could even glue it to a necklace if you really love the concept.
But be warned: AirPods must now exclusively be displayed around your neck or body.
No more popping them in your pocket. So says Chanel.
