The New iPhone Case Is a Fashion Minimalist’s Dream
A MagSafe is the item to invest in if you’re not into lugging around a big carryall these days….


When was the last time you carried a big bag around all day? It was probably the last time you went to the gym in the morning, dropped your kids off at school, perhaps, then went to an actual office, followed by a post-work dinner or event. Throughout the course of the pandemic, the need for a large carryall has largely gone out the window. Coronavirus has slowed our lives and confined us, mostly, to our homes. There aren’t even too many occasions in which we’d wear a clutch or a cute vintage-style top handle mini bag unless you’re getting dressed for a dinner outside that will begin at 5:30 and end promptly at 7:30.
I, for one, have not been feeling the need to bring all my belongings with me on my daily constitutionals or my thrilling trips to the grocery store. In truth, I have always been a bit of a minimalist when it comes to curating the content of my handbags—as long as there is room for my wallet, phone, and lip balm, I’m good.
During the last few months, I’ve been searching for some sort of happy medium between an easy, nearly hands-free way to carry my necessities and a smaller, more streamlined holder that is as fashionable as it is functional. For those like me who prefer to travel light, Apple has answered our prayers. Available for pre-order this week and officially launching on November 12, the same date as the iPhone 12 Pro, the company has released a new magnetic cardholder collection called MagSafe Accessories (MagSafe is the new technology that enables wireless charging for the iPhone 12 Pro) that stick to the back of your phone with or without a case. The sleek leather and silicone cases come in an array of earthy colors like mustard yellow and hunter green. The case also has a protective coating to protect your credit cards. It is, in a nutshell, a fashion minimalist’s dream, fashion being the operative word: the new designs are a far cry from the older phone cardholder models made of plastic and available only in bland hues.
The idea falls somewhere between the It girls and celebrities who’ve pulled off those impossibly teeny tiny Jacquemus bags and the way that Aretha Franklin brought her fabulous purses, filled with cash, with her on stage and never let them out of her sight. I think the new MagSafe case might just be my golden ticket to minimizing my daily accessories and ending my on-and-off relationship with big old carryalls. Simplicity really can be the key to happiness.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout
A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.
The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.
There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.
The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.
Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack
Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.
The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.
None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.
Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
