It's not unusual for [fashion brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-ateliers-horizons) to venture outside of producing outfits, so it really isn't surprising to see the Dior Mobile Phone. Although it may be a bit bulky for some, the overall design is pretty impressive. It's a touchscreen-style mobile that doesn't sacrifice the technical aspects for looks. It's a Super 3G GSM Quadband which is perfect for those who tend to travel. The phone has MP3, video and FM Radio capability combined with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There's about 400 hours of standby which should be more than enough for users. It is also handmade in France, so there's definitely a high level of craftsmanship here.
