"Cables have become the new 'must have' accessory and we want to make it easy, fun and fashionable for people to charge anywhere," said Melody Saffery, director product management, Belkin. "The merging of fashion and tech results in beautifully crafted accessories that consumers want to use in their everyday lives. We are extremely proud of this collection of fashion charging accessories and are delighted to launch them with retail partners that share this same vision."

Functional and stylish, the new collection includes a leather tassel, a braided USB clip and a metallic keychain, all of which are designed to elegantly attach to virtually any style of bag, purse or backpack.

Made from natural leather, the MIXIT Lightning to USB Tassel disguises itself as a purse accessory while cleverly hiding the premium metallic charging cable to enhance the elegance of an iPhone and ensure safe and rapid charging. Its fringe design takes a purse from bleak to chic, keeps the cable tidy and prevents it from getting tangled. Available in fog, camel, coral and black, the MIXIT Lightning to USB tassel effortlessly matches any purse or bag.

The MIXIT Lightning to USB Keychain has a sleek, structured aluminum body and can easily be slipped onto akeychain, so that it's always there when users need to charge. It conveniently rotates at 360 degrees for effortless charging. The aluminum body also protects the Lightning connector from damage when not in use.



Boldly and functionally designed, the MIXIT Lightning to USB Clip is the perfect companion for attaching to a backpack or everyday bag without compromising individual style. The braided multicolor cable comes in fun color combinations including cool blue and mint, feisty pink and peach, fresh purple and mint, or minimal black and white.
