# Shabby-Chic Smartphone Sheaths The Foil Covered iPhone 5 Case by Marc by Marc Jacobs Shimmers By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-05-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foil-covered-iphone-5-case-by-marc-by-marc-jacobs References: [thefancy](http://www.thefancy.com/things/366476165730273803/Foil-Covered-iPhone-5-Case-by-Marc-By-Marc-Jacobs) & [marcjacobs](http://www.marcjacobs.com) Adding a touch of glamor that's actually quite understated is a snap with the Foil Covered iPhone 5 Case by Marc by Marc Jacobs that might glitter in the sun, but is more certainly not gold (at least in material). The Foil Covered iPhone 5 Case by Marc by Marc Jacobs is actually made from polycarbonate and crafted to look like crumpled foil, which is effortlessly shabby chic and totally Marc Jacobs style. Coming in either gold or silver, the Foil Covered iPhone 5 Case by Marc by Marc Jacobs features a bold imprint along the side that reads "Marc by Marc Jacobs", so that while some might think you covered your phone in tin foil, they'll see that it's actually a designer piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Shabby-chic Accessories:** Creating accessories that have a deliberately shabby, worn-out appearance but still exude style and luxury. - **Designer Smartphone Cases:** Designing smartphone cases that mimic luxurious materials, like crumpled foil, to add an element of high-fashion to everyday devices. - **Understated Glamor:** Incorporating subtle elements of glamor and luxury into everyday products to create a sophisticated and stylish aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for fashion accessory brands to create shabby-chic designs that appeal to consumers looking for unique and stylish smartphone cases. - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for luxury brands to create smartphone cases that mimic high-end materials and offer a touch of luxury to the masses. - **Mobile Device Accessories:** Potential for mobile device accessory companies to collaborate with fashion designers to produce designer smartphone cases that combine style and functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Sustainable Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mujjo-iphone-cases.md) - [Sophisticated Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-smartphone-case.md) - [Singer Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkle-case.md) - [Jewelry-Like Smartphone Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rmour-candy-corner-protectors.md) - [Textured Alcantara Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-graft-fuzzy-iphone-case.md) - [Minimalist Designer-Made Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-the-white-case.md) - [Smartphone Case Pin Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases.md) - [Fashionable Inflated Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-case-2.md) - [Vegan Leather Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardgraft-fuzzy-alcantara-iphone-15-pro-cover.md)
