This is the Penelope Shibuya Phone, made in Tokyo’s famous downtown district.

Thanks to our friend Aico in Tokyo we found Neu Neu, a store specialising in original Shibuya-Bling. They work on finger nails, mobile phones and pretty much everything else you can glue crystals to.

Each customisation is bespoke so we had to provide a brief for the black Penelope we handed over to receive the Neu Neu treatment. We gave them “Dita Von Tees’ lips” as inspiration. They smiled sweetly and got on with it.

It takes a few days to complete as the crystals, trinkets and sparkling metallic bows are layered on meticulously.

Once completed we took the Penelope Shibuya Phone out on the streets……

The HULGER Penelope Shibuya Phone is on a tour of our favourite stores. Whilst there is no published price, we are open to offers.
