In celebration of Fashion’s Night Out 2010, Incase is happy to present this special edition iPhone 4 case in collaboration with colette for its Parisian-inspired installment at Opening Ceremony. Our signature Slider Case serves as a canvas for an illustration by New York-based artist Craig Redman, featuring Darcel, Redman’s quirky, one-eyed, glasses-wearing character of internet fame expressing his love for two fashion capitals of the world, New York and Paris.

The collaborative iPhone 4 Slider Case for colette, in a limited edition of only 300, will be available September 10th at Opening Ceremony in New York, at colette Paris and online at colette.fr and goincase.com.

The Incase Sales Team had the pleasure of being in attendance, meeting the staff, and touring the store. The energy of the Apple staff and the thousands of hungry customers that lined up around the block was amazing. We took some images of the location, the store, and the Incase product displayed inside which can give you a sense of how special this new store is.

In addition to the Carrousel du Louvre and André special products, Incase also had the pleasure of joining Apple in launching their iPod touch base point-of-sale device by designing and supplying a holster to carry this new device.

We are excited to showcase a line of Incase products created to commemorate the opening of the Apple Store, Carrousel du Louvre. Featuring a pyramid graphic inspired by the neighboring museum’s landmark architecture, the limited edition Messenger Bag, 15″ Sleeve and Slider Case are available beginning November 7 exclusively at the new Apple Store, Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, France.

The Incase products for the Apple Store, Carrousel du Louvre are the latest of a series of exclusive products designed and created for new Apple Store openings around the world. Please visit our new Apple Exclusives page in the Projects section to learn more about the Incase releases past and present.

Exclusifs Apple: Incase pour l’Apple Store, Carrousel du Louvre

Les produits Incase pour l’Apple Store, Carrousel du Louvre sont les derniers d’une série de produits exclusivement conçu pour les nouvelles ouvertures de magasins Apple partout dans le monde. Veuillez visiter notre nouvelle page Apple Exclusives dans la section Projets pour découvrir les sorties de produits Incase passées et présentes.

The visuals are complemented by a passage from Le Paysan de Paris (Paris Peasant) by Louis Aragon, one of André’s favorite authors, read by actress and singer Adele Jacques. The accompanying music, an original arrangement of Serge Gainsbourg’s “L’alcool”, is performed by Matthew Banks and also draws from André’s tastes.

Celebrating the city that elevated André’s graffiti to cult status in the creative world, the fifth installment of Curated by Arkitip features the artist’s distinctive “Mr. A” stick figure character. Once seen everywhere from city walls to high fashion magazines and collaborations, Mr. A appears on the signature Incase 15″ Sleeve and Slider Case alongside André’s interpretation of the French tricolour.

The Paris-themed André products for Curated by Arkitip are timed to release in parallel with the opening of the first Apple retail location in France and will be available on opening day at the Apple Store, Carrousel du Louvre adjacent to the renowned art museum in Paris.

“André embodies the creative spirit and vibrancy of Paris, so it was only natural to introduce his contribution to Curated by Arkitip as Apple opens its first retail store in France,” said Damon Way, Incase Chief Brand Officer. “We are excited to do this with André to celebrate his artistic legacy and Paris, a city that artists from all walks of life continue to draw inspiration from.”

The André 15″ Sleeve for MacBook Pro and André Slider Case for iPhone 3GS/3G are available today in our webstore, arkitip.com and at the Apple Store, Carrousel du Louvre, in Paris, France.
