A headphone cord is a common piece of material but if worked by Marc Jacobs’ hands for Louis Vuitton, its now one of this season’s most fashion forward accessories. Meet the Headphone Bracelet from Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Inspired by the headphones worn by DJs, the bracelet is skillfully crafted from materials such as calf leather, metal and lacquer. It also features an innovative magnetic closure system and a Louis Vuitton signature engraved on top of the bracelet. It may look too “out there” but if worn and styled suitably, it would definitely add spark on your outfit.
