“Premium” has just gone “more premium.”

Samsung today launched the Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition, describing it as an offering that “brings together sartorial style and cutting-edge technology, demonstrating a tireless commitment to quality and design.”

The special edition of the foldable will only be available in select markets — and the Philippines is one of them. If you’re interested in owning one, you can purchase it starting September 12 at UNIVERS Greenbelt 3 in Makati City or online, at Samsung.com. But you may already preorder it at UNIVERS.

When and where to buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition, according to the South Korean technology giant

While there’s no official word about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 Thom Browne Edition’s local price yet, a quick search shows that it’s being offered by retailers such as Silicon Valley for P189,990 (around $3,342). The pricing shouldn’t surprise you, because we’re talking about U.S. luxury brand Thom Browne here after all. And besides, each package is supposed to include the following:

• 2 Galaxy Z Fold5 cases
• 2 Galaxy Watch6 straps
• 1 25-watt charger
• 1 Type C-to-C cable
