Why celebrities are obsessed with the Bandolier crossbody phone case

Zendaya, Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, Madonna and more. These A-list celebrities are all obsessed with the same phone case.

The Billie Utility Crossbody phone case, which costs around $228, is known for offering even more storage options for your phone, as well as your other personal items.

Bandolier’s website describes the phone case as: “A limited edition interpretation of modern style and function, Billie is a leather iPhone wallet with a multi-pocketed and adjustable utility strap (nylon shoulder adjustment).”

It’s crafted with three distinct compartments, as well as dotted gold details, which helps to create a new take on phone case space that is easy for both traveling and glamorous moments.

There are also versions compatible with 20 different iPhones ranging from the 6 to the 14 Pro Max. Prices vary based on the version.

Approved by Oprah

Even Oprah hopped on the Billie Utility Crossbody phone case trend, along with using it herself. The 69-year-old star added the hot item to her ‘Favorite List’ back in 2021.

“Some days, you just need your phone and a few other little extras,” Winfrey wrote.

“Stash your cell (so you’ll never have to put it down on an unsanitized surface) and more (keys, lip gloss, charger, mask) in this pocketed leather crossbody with adjustable strap.”

This isn’t the first time celebrities have started a trend

Although a phone case can be helpful and beneficial, not all trends this year can say the same.

Back in February, multiple celebrities and influencers were seen wearing ‘Astro Boy’ boots.

The trendy boots are inspired by the Japanese anime character. During its first drop, the limited supply that cost $350 dollars a pair sold out just minutes after it became available on Brooklyn-based MSCHF’s website.

‘Astro Boy’ boots are made from the same material as Crocs, with a shell made of TPU rubber and an EVA foam outsole and midsole.

Even though the boots sold out fast, some have complained that it can take more than 20 minutes to remove them.
