Samsung has partnered with the French couture house Maison Margiela to unveil a special edition of the Galaxy Z Flip5. The collaboration blends cutting edge technology with Margiela’s distinctive fashion language, as reported by Hypebeast. This edition celebrates the fusion of high fashion and mobile tech, inviting fans of both brands to experience a device that doubles as a statement piece.
A standout feature of the Margiela Edition is its translucent back panel. Through this panel, collectors can glimpse the interior design language that mirrors the house’s signature aesthetic. On the upper portion of the screen, a bespoke wallpaper integrates Margiela’s visual code, creating a seamless visual narrative that ties the device’s hardware and software into a single, cohesive look.
The package includes two accessories curated to echo Margiela’s design philosophy. The Leather Case with Cover uses genuine black leather and echoes the brand’s Work-in-Progress collection by emphasizing unfinished, tactile textures. The second accessory, a Flipsuit with a paint-splattered finish, reflects Margiela’s ongoing exploration of creative expression and streetwear-inspired experimentation.
When the story first circulated, official pricing and production numbers were not disclosed. What was clear is that the Galaxy Z Flip5 Maison Margiela Edition would roll out selectively in markets such as China, Hong Kong, and South Korea, with availability beginning around late November. The limited-edition launch underscores Samsung and Margiela’s intent to blend luxury sensibilities with mainstream accessibility, appealing to collectors and tech enthusiasts alike.
Industry observers noted the partnership as part of a broader trend where major electronics brands collaborate with luxury houses to craft distinctive, collectible devices. The Margiela edition stands out not only for its aesthetic choices but also for how it invites users to engage with their devices as wearable art, blurring lines between a everyday gadget and a fashion item.
