Hermes Swaps Leather for Green: The Watch Band Edition
What’s the big news?
Last week, Hermes made a bold move: it pulled every leather Apple Watch band from its online catalog. The luxury house decided that the future belongs to sustainable style—no more animal hide on your wrist.
Why the change?
- Apple’s Eco Upgrade: Apple is rumored to ditch leather altogether in favor of a “woven composite fabric.” It’s lighter, cleaner, and—get this—gives you an extra boost of comfort.
- Environmental Pulse: The fashion world is feeling the green vibes. “If the brand wants to keep up with the planet, leather is a nope,” Hermes said in a frantic rush to align with eco‑friendly trends.
- Luxury Reimagined: Woven composites can be crafted with fancy prints, smart tech, and a whisper of sustainability, so the watch looks stylish while keeping the planet happy.
What’s still on sale?
Don’t worry, Hermes still has plenty of stylish accessories: AirPods Pro cases, MagSafe wallets, and AirTag tags—all still sporting the brand’s signature chic designs.
Bottom line
Hermes has slid away from leather and stepped fully into a green future—one wristband at a time. Whether you’re team “leather” or “vegan vibes,” it’s clear that sustainable fashion is not just trending; it’s taking over the watch aisle. Happy eco‑watching!
Hermes Leather Bands Still on Apple’s Online Store (Yet)
Apple’s watch band aisle still includes those coveted Hermes leather straps, even as whispers circulate that the luxury line is running scarce.
What’s the Deal?
- There’s still a dedicated section on Apple’s web shop.
- Customers can pick from a variety of configurations—all stamped with the Hermes signature.
- Rumors hint that Apple is selling out the leather accessory stock faster than a breakfast run.
Could This Be the End of the Partnership?
Some say it might be a signal that Hermes and Apple may part ways soon. Others speculate that the luxury brand is gearing up a fresh line of bands for the next wave of Apple hardware.
What Should You Expect?
- Check Apple’s online shop before it’s too late.
- Keep an eye on Hermes announcements for new designs.
- Don’t forget: even a quick tie‑up can turn out to be a binge-buy frenzy.
