Z Flip 5 Maison Margiela Edition: Features
Reflecting Maison Margiela’s signature style, the phone is presented in a large archival-style box, typically used in atelier stores for preserving fabric samples and threads.
The packaging, wrapped in woven book cloth fabric, features Maison Margiela’s iconic jacket on the back, adding to the phone’s luxurious appeal.
Inside the box, users will find two bespoke cases — the Flap Leather Case and the Flipsuit Case, each complementing the phone’s high-fashion theme.
This special edition is not just about aesthetics; it’s also technologically advanced. The phone runs on a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and boasts an IPX8 rating, ensuring robust performance and resistance to dust and water.
Adding to its uniqueness, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 Maison Margiela Edition includes two exclusive wallpapers: Stitches, featuring handwoven stitches, and Trompe-L’oeil, depicting the inner workings of a garment.
These wallpapers resonate with Maison Margiela’s fashion-forward design ethos.
The phone is being showcased in South Korea at Samsung Gangnam and Samsung Hongdae stores from November 23.
