Drought, a brand heavily inspired by nostalgic influences, has officially launched a new mirror inspired by the iconic iPod Nano, which was initially launched in September 2005.
Launching in six colorways, including blue, green, silver, red, pink, and purple, this edgy piece perfectly embodies the vintage cybercore aesthetic. This release serves as a follow-up to the initial drop, providing patient consumers with the opportunity to snag the limited restock.
The mirror itself adopts the signature shape of the iPod Nano, featuring the top function of the remote replaced with 'Drought' and 'Now Living' playing on the screen. The back of the unit features 'iReflect' as well as Drought branding.
The new iMirror launches on January 24 through Drought's website.
