Fashion accessories and tech gadgets have always occupied separate drawers, figuratively and literally. The phone goes in a pocket, the earbuds get buried somewhere in the bag, and the bag itself has nothing to do with either of them. It is a small daily inconvenience that nobody really complains about, mostly because nobody has ever offered a better alternative. Samsung and Spanish fashion brand DOMINNICO have decided that the arrangement is worth rethinking.
The collaboration produced a handcrafted leather bag that treats the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy Buds4 Pro as design references rather than just contents. It follows a baguette silhouette in off-white leather, produced in limited quantities under a slow fashion approach. The construction stays deliberately restrained: a zip closure bearing the brand logo, an interior pocket, and silver accents distributed carefully across the piece without overcrowding it.
The most direct hardware reference runs along the handles. Silver eyelets line them in a pattern that mirrors the camera module rings on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, pulling one of the phone’s most recognizable physical details into a fashion context. It is the kind of detail that reads as decorative until you recognize where it came from, at which point it becomes something more like a private joke between the bag and the phone sitting inside it.
The exterior front pocket is sized specifically for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, secured with three buckles that make it a visual centerpiece rather than a plain utility slot. The design concept ties back to the phone’s built-in Privacy Display feature: the pocket keeps the device accessible while screening it from view when not needed. Whether that connection feels meaningful or just convenient as a marketing angle is a fair question, though the pocket itself is a genuinely practical addition.
Galaxy Buds4 Pro owners get their own dedicated carry solution through three keyrings attached to the bag. Two are extendable, each fitted with a small mirror that doubles as a functional charm. The third holds a soft pouch sized for the Galaxy Buds4 or Galaxy Buds4 Pro case. A fixed keyring with the DOMINNICO logo in silver completes the set. All three hang visibly from the bag rather than disappearing inside it, which keeps the tech ecosystem part of the aesthetic rather than hidden from it.
The bag was unveiled at CUPRA City Garage in Madrid as part of the Madrid es Moda program, a setting that positioned it squarely within fashion week territory rather than a product launch event. That framing matters because it signals who Samsung is trying to reach here: not the Galaxy power user looking for a rugged carry solution, but the fashion-conscious Galaxy owner who wants their accessories to cohere visually.
Available for preorder through DOMINNICO’s website at €420, the bag sits closer to a fashion collectible than a mass-market accessory. The limited production run and handcrafted construction support that positioning. What remains genuinely open is whether a piece this specific, built around two particular Samsung devices, holds its appeal once the Galaxy S26 Ultra is no longer the current flagship and the collaboration’s novelty has worn off.
The competition between Apple’s M5 Pro chip and Intel’s Panther Lake chip represents a critical moment in the evolution of laptop technology.

The phone on the nightstand is one of those design failures nobody talks about. It wakes you with a jolt, it glows through the night, and the first thing it offers each morning is not the time but a backlog of notifications demanding your attention before you’ve even sat up. The bedside clock was supposed to be the simple alternative, but most of them traded the problem of distraction for the problem of mediocrity.
Balmuda, the Tokyo-based maker responsible for a limited-edition sailing lantern and an aesthetic humidifier, built The Clock around a specific frustration. Founder Gen Terao had been playing rain sounds on a tablet at night to help him sleep, then tolerating the screen’s glow from the bedside. The Clock is the object-form answer to that exact problem, designed to handle waking, focusing, and resting without once asking you to reach for your phone.
The dial has no physical hands. Balmuda’s “Light Hour” system expresses time through illumination alone, with a glow that reads more like something painted than something lit. The second-hand movement is slow and pendulum-like, and that quality was not accidental. The design team visited the Foucault pendulum at the National Museum of Nature and Science to study the movement before settling on the animation. That level of reference work is unusual for a clock.
The aluminum body is machined from a solid block, finished to a polish that achieves both structural weight and surface quality in a 75mm square form. Getting there required resources Balmuda did not have independently. The company’s collaboration with Jony Ive’s design firm, LoveFrom, opened access to aluminum processing vendors with capabilities that, according to Terao himself, would not have been available otherwise. The result is a body with a density and finish that the specs alone do not prepare you for.
Three operational modes govern the day from the same pocket-sized object. Relax Time plays original ambient tracks, including rainfall, crickets, and thunder, all produced by an in-house sound team working with outside musicians. The focus timer layers white noise over a countdown. The alarm begins building volume gradually 3 minutes before it fully sounds, a small but considered alternative to the binary silence-then-noise of a standard alarm. Control over all three modes runs through the BALMUDA Connect app via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, with options for multiple alarms, dial brightness, and a second time zone for travel.
At approximately 259g with a cloth carrying bag included and USB-C charging that restores a full 24-hour battery in about 2.5 hours, The Clock is portable without making portability the point. It is currently available in Japan at ¥59,400 (approximately $373), with no confirmed release date for other markets. At that price, it is asking to be taken seriously as an object rather than a category product, and the manufacturing pedigree behind it gives that ask some grounding.
