14 DAY TRIAL // While some people might know this, for those who do not, Celux is a members only shopping club in the very popular Tokyo area, Harajuku, which offers limited-edition items from several world-renowned brands such as Givenchy, Dior, Kenzo or Loewe. Like other luxury stores, Celux requires a membership before one can consider shopping there.
The store is currently working with Nokia to make an improved version of the Nokia 7360 fashion phone. Now, considering the exclusive products that Celux has to offer and Japanese customers' high expectations when it comes to mobile phones, there is a slight chance that the 7360 will get a pretty nice make-over.
One thing's for sure, this phone will be quite an interesting addition to the products that are currently available on the Japanese market, which are generally extremely advanced as features and mostly come with a clamshell form factor. Also, Nokia isn't exactly popular in the area, with few Nokia mobile phones being sold by Japan's mobile operators.
But since this mobile phone will be sold for fashion conscious people, a classic candybar (so rare in Japan) with a very stylish look might be just the thing that Japan's fashionistas are looking for. The final product will only be available for Celux store members and is available for sale until the 18th of March.
It will come in two color variations, the black version and a white/pink combination. Each mobile phone will come with a tag with the Celux logo stamped on, exactly like the tags one would find on clothing. And since Celux is so renowned for high prices and exclusivity, there's no reason for this re-vamped 7360 not to be for sale at an outrageous price.
