Luxury brand Hermès has revealed a new collection of high-end leather and equestrian-inspired tech accessories for Apple products, including the Apple Watch Hermès and the Apple AirTag Hermès. The accessories appear in various mixed colors, similar to multi-colored jockeys jackets. The collection was inspired by equestrianism culture, which is a heritage that is linked to Hermès' roots.
The Apple Watch Hermès contains new Casaque bands mixed with a style of sportiness. There are two signature color combinations: a black/green/red/blue colorway and a yellow/gray/pink/black colorway. Consumers can select either the Single Tour woven nylon or the leather Double Tour. The collection also comes with the exclusive Hermès Sport Band made for sportswear. Each accessory has a custom-etched AirTag Hermès. The Apple AirTag Hermès has different colored handcrafted luggage tags, bag charms, and key rings. They also contain leather material with travel-inspired illustrations of cars, snow-capped mountains, yachts, and more. The collection is available for purchase.
