HONOR embraces its role in shaping future lifestyles and unveils the HONOR V Purse, a new "Phone-to-purse" concept that heralds the beginning of electronic devices being seen as an entirely new category of fashionable consumer goods that offer unlimited opportunities for self-expression.

The HONOR V Purse seamlessly transforms the foldable smartphone into the ultimate phy-gital fashion statement, thanks to a series of customisable always-on displays (AODs) that mimic a handbag design, including design elements such as chains, feathers and tassels that react and sway with the smartphone as it moves. The concept phone is also compatible with a choice of interchangeable straps and chains, which clip onto the hinge to allow the smartphone to be worn effortlessly over one's shoulder like an ordinary purse or handbag, enabling it to become the new "it" bag of the future.

Unfolding a More Sustainable Future

Engineered with sustainability in mind, the HONOR V Purse epitomises HONOR's commitment to the environment. In addition to featuring sustainably-sourced materials such as vegan leather for its straps, the concept's endlessly customisable AODs can be paired with any outfit. With the HONOR V Purse's limitless customisable AOD's, the device can be paired with any outfit, removing the need to buy a new handbag for every look. In this small way, HONOR hopes to empower environmentally conscious consumers to cut down on their consumption of fast fashion while motivating the fashion world to embrace new technologies that allow us to buy less and use for longer. Comprising of responsibly sourced materials and built to be folded over 400,000 times, the HONOR V Purse has been lovingly crafted to be by your side for many years to come.
