I almost fell off my chair when Tod’s released its alligator skin iPad case, but now David August has upped the ante. While Tod’s tech pouch cost $4900, David August’s new accessory is priced at a whopping $6900. That makes it the most expensive iPad case in the world.
It’s hard to justify the price difference, as both pouches are made from alligator skin, hand cut and hand stitched by fine craftsmen. I certainly couldn’t rationalize spending almost 14 times the iPad’s value to house it, but more cashed up fashionistas may disagree.
If you’ve fallen for this exotic accessory, why not lash out and buy the whole David August collection? This includes a $12, 900 laptop attaché case, a Dopp kit and watch holder, both costing $7800, and a change tray priced at $2400. In case you weren’t keeping count, that brings the entire five-piece set to a staggering $37, 800.
The pieces are available in matte and glazed finishes and more than 20 different colors. There are also many different options for customizing the accessories. All that choice is certainly appreciated, but also kind of expected when you’re paying these kinds of prices.
David August has become a favorite label amongst Hollywood celebrities like Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Robert Downey Jr., and Will Smith. Something tells me they’re also the only ones who can afford these bags!
