The neck strap was born in the 1980s during the turbulent times on Wall Street. It came into the limelight along with a small financial information distribution terminal developed by Bloomberg, and is now widely used as a holder for employee ID cards.
The "Porte Carte OnStrap" released by Louis Vuitton this spring is a member of the neck strap group, but in the hands of creative director Pharrell Williams, it is different, as you can see.
The highlight is the one-compartment structure with a 0.5mm gusset, which can hold not only cards and business cards but also keys and other small items. The glossy silver double snap closure is excellent from both a security and design standpoint.
The body is covered in Monogram canvas and Taiga leather, both of which symbolize the Maison. Three colors are available, ranging from pop colors such as veil and blue, which symbolize the new "Louis Vuitton", to noir.
Porto carte on strap ¥69,300 each
