We knew Karl Lagerfeld to be a very good customer of Apple products and in particular iPods. A sale at Sotheby’s confirms this. On May 4, a new series of items that belonged to the fashion designer who died in 2019 will be auctioned off, a reader told us.
In the middle of posters and sketches are 5 batches of iPod nano of different generations which make a total of 310 players! ” If I like something, I need to have a lot he had said. These nano, of which a priori none works if we are to believe the description, are divided into groups of 50 and 80 pieces.
Many have a small annotated colored patch on the back. For some, it seems to be an indication of the type of content (opera, or even music from the Colette boutique or compilations from such and such a period). Lagerfeld explained that he had iPods more or less for every genre or content.

Each of these lots is estimated between 3,000 and 5,000 euros. And since they no longer work, with a support and a little glue there would be enough to make pretty iPod paintings.
Previously, a Louis Vuitton suitcase to store 20 iPods had been proposed on sale. She left for €6,930 following an estimate between €1,500 and €2,500.
