ESATO NEWS
In developed mobile markets, consumers are becoming more sophisticated in their selection of handset, and this is driving a market for stylish and fashionable mobile phones.
There was a time when companies such as Nike, New Balance and Reebok produced 'running shoes'. Now these pieces of footwear sell in fashion boutiques, and vintage lines can trade for huge market premiums. The mobile phone is following a similar path, and fashion boutiques have become the point of sale for handsets from Siemens/ESCADA, Nokia/Versace, Vertu and the now defunct Xelibri. In addition, fashion designers such as Kimora Lee Simmons, Diane Von Furstenberg, Anna Sui and Vivienne Westwood have readily extended their design expertise onto handsets from Motorola and Samsung.
