As part of a groundbreaking sustainability initiative, Apple announced the removal of all leather iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands from its official website during the unveiling event held a few days back. The removal affected luxury accessories from the iconic Hermès collection. This bold move signifies Apple’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. Instead, they have introduced a revolutionary textile known as “FineWoven,” composed of 68% post-consumer content, making the Apple Watch Series 9 the company’s first fully carbon-neutral product.
Meanwhile, Hermès has launched a stunning lineup of Apple Watch Series 9 cases and straps, showcasing their enduring commitment to impeccable craftsmanship. Among these, the Single Tour and Double Tour straps shine with their elegance and versatility. They are available in various materials, including knitted nylon, braided nylon, and calfskin.
While Apple transitions away from leather, Hermès retains the ability to offer Apple Watch Series 9 models adorned with their coveted calfskin straps, ensuring that luxury enthusiasts can still experience the epitome of style.
The Hermès Apple Watch Series 9 straps are priced between $349 and $589, providing a range of options to cater to different tastes. For those seeking the complete package, the watch and strap combinations are available at prices ranging from $1,249 to $1,539.
With both Apple and Hermès prioritizing sustainability and innovation, the Apple Watch Series 9 stands as a testament to their enduring partnership, offering consumers a luxurious yet environmentally conscious choice for the future. The new straps are already available to pre-order, with shipments set to begin after September 22nd.
