I meant other nylon products other than watch straps.
I found the Evelyne bag which has a nylon strap. But the rest is still leather.

hermes has made plenty of non-leather things, like the toile officier canvas bags of a few years ago, and beautiful silk ties, of which i have many.I meant other nylon products other than watch straps.

they’ve also just released mushroom leather bags, in a collaboration with someone.
as a vegetarian who tries to avoid leather in large quantities (but makes an exception for certain unavoidable things and small luxury items like watch bands ? ) i think it’s a welcome development. cows are horrible for the environment.
I do agree that a “vegan” Hermès band is cool.
Hermès silk vs nylon though? Not even close.
Nylon is what they make low grade rope out of. Nylon is a byproduct of oil. While oil is “vegan” it surprisingly goes against apple’s whole environment initiative.
I just looked at the Hermes website with all the new nylon band. They just don't go with the Hermes watch faces at all. I know it's made in France and everything but they don't compare with the quality of the leather that they have.
I love Hermes but but it looks like it's "cheapening" the brand from the stock photos. Keen to see some real life pictures if any of you are getting it.
It’s a weird paradox for me who owns too many bands. With the leather I feel fine not wearing any single band too often and saving the leather. But the Hermes nylon seem so durable, I would want it to be one of the few bands I wear to get the value out of it.
I’m sure the dye job is amazing. Definitely perfectly suited for the well-heeled folks who get the Hermes watch and wear the leather every day until they buy the next Hermes watch a year later.
Stop making sense and talking me into buying one...
With the leather band I can justify it as the leather itself is superior quality. With the new nylon, I'm sure the craftsmanship will still be superb but that material is not worth the same as a piece of swift leather.
Nylon is used in a million things from cheap to exorbitant, and the amount of crude byproducts or natural gas (nobody actually uses raw crude oil to make plastic) which go into a few ounces of watchband pales in comparison to the environmental impact of actual leather.
That said, these are tiny products. Yes, the carbon footprint of leather is three times a similar amount of plastic but they're both such small amounts that it need not, in my opinion, be a primary concern. "A pair of leather boots affects the climate about three times as much as its plastic or pleather cousins. However, since the emissions associated with a leather pair are about equal to those from burning a gallon of gasoline..."
If you feel like making it a criteria for watch bands, the nylon one is the most environmentally conscious alternative.
Aesthetically, like most man-made products, nylon can be anything from cheap to beautiful. Prada makes beautiful nylon bags. Hermes makes beautiful nylon jackets and has for a very long time. Why not hold off until you've held and worn one before saying that you know better than their designers?
Looking to get the wife a Mother’s Day Hermès band. She has a 44 mm Rose Gold watch and was thinking about the Fauve Barenia Leather Band. Does anyone have any pictures of this combination? Also there is two bands listed on the Apple and Hermès site they look the same to me, but one says Attelage? Is that the top metal loop? Thanks for the help.
since i giving away my hermes apple watch ive been sporting the hermes bands with a series 6 (rose) gold aluminum. i dont have an attelage double tour yet (just ordered my first one today). its nice, not as nice as having completely fleshed lugs to match but im sure she would love it. heres a pic i posted here a few months back

Guess I'm in the minority when I am liking these nylon bands. The stitching looks top notch and I would assume these will be a lot softer than the trash Apple variants. For me, these are also every day wearing bands while the leather bands being used for occasions only.
Plus if they are underwhelming, I can drive 10 mins away and return it

Well, while I really like the new Nylons, especially the orange/blue one... but I'm sorry, 300+ for a Nylon strap (made in France or elsewhere) is a slap in the face. Sure, Hermès, but what the heck?
I paid less for velcros/fabric straps from real watch manufacturers...

Fortunately, Tim Cook showed great taste himself yesterday, wearing my favourite band colour northern blue (if I saw correctly). ?
I really don’t get the appeal of these nylon straps and they don’t age as well as leather. Yeah, I know fashion and stuff but the price is beyond reasonable.
Finally getting around to the splash page on the apple site. I wonder what the implications of “designed for swimming” are. I remember my shark watch nylon band getting a not very fun smell from a day at camp and in the pool. The feel must be on another level.
Paying this much money for a cheap ass nylon strap. Hermes is laughing at Apple users. Good on them. I'm out.
They don't even look good. Wouldn't buy them for the price of a regular sport band. ?
For nylon band

Yes, all sport bands can be used in water. If that's the only "feature", you can gladly pick any other $49 sport band. I don't want to hate but I genuinely don't understand these band.
as far as the colors of the new leather straps are concerned, the Saphir blue is less intense than the original, this looks more similar to the Blue Agate, but it is a beautiful blue. pink is great.
for the nylon straps disappointed more for the choice of nylon than for the beautiful colors orange / blue and beige / red. let's see if they have a future.
I was hoping for Epsom leather straps, which is a very large leather and is unlikely to fade over time.
