Following Hermes' leather Apple Watch wristband, Japanese label Sacai has produced a designer wristband of its very own. The stylish smartwatch accessory features unique design elements and applies the brand's luxury aesthetic to the popular tech watch.
Adding its signature style to the Apple Watch, Sacai designer Chitose Abe constructed a unique wristband that is reminiscent of a lush jewelry piece. The Sacai Apple Watch wristband is constructed out of stainless steel as well as leather. Both materials are joined together by the body, which gives the piece an overall eye-catching finish.
This luxury wristband is offered in silver as well as gold variations and can be picked up at select retailers across the globe.
