saturday morning I added an orange single tour to my cart, got distracted and Sunday went to checkout. Every single tour band is now unavailable. Did Apple discontinue or should I just keep checking for stock?

The series 4 page on hermes.com has gone down as well..... maybe new colors are coming?

The only one available to order is Ambre/Capucine/Rose Azalée. I think it’s more likely a color refresh than Apple and Hermès ending the partnership.

It’s been like this for weeks now. It happened before with the link bracelets too. Everyone thought they were discontinued but it wasn’t the case.

I’m not sure what’s happening here though.

I know we're all used to getting what we want when we want it but you have to remember that these aren't run off by the thousand on a production line in China - the bands are hand crafted. Hermes doesn't really do mass production and have always struggled with keeping up with demand. Try the Hermes website direct.

I did gonto their site and all mentions of series 4 are gone and I’m not used to getting what I want when I want it. I only asked because every band minus one went out of stock in a matter of hours, nationwide and in store. Usually we know ahead of time something is being discontinued. This had. I warning

Hermes remove items from the site if they aren't in stock - the Indigo/Craie/Orange single tour was constantly on and off after launch. Most bar the multi-coloured straps appear to be available on the UK Apple site. Orange single tour available for next day delivery.
