The GLK served as a source of inspiration for the exclusive iPhone pouch, a limited-edition item created specially for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The cut-out transparent GLK lettering has been lavishly trimmed with crystallized Swarovski Elements. The effect is eye-catching: when the iPhone display is activated, the refraction of light through the fine-cut crystals ensures that the GLK lettering shimmers in an attractive play of colours. The inside of the GLK iPhone pouch is lined with a special magenta-coloured fabric.
