Does anyone know if the Kilim is sold in store? You can check store stock for other bands, but not for the Kilim for some reason.
Got a tip for us?

Do you mean apple or Hermes? Apple has them in select stores, but yes the Hermes I have gone too also have them. I saw it on display in Miami recently and I purchased a Blanc kilim in London in the selfridges store. It shows unavailable in the uk online but available in other colours.
As someone suggested above you could call but I’d be surprised if they don’t. They have other Apple Watch bands.
I assume it’s due to Apple using Ireland as tax haven. No Apple stores. Hermes can’t sell anything Apple that they’ve partnered with either.
If anyone is interested I'm selling a brand new Bleu Kilim band in the MR marketplace. I got it with a new Series 9 I ordered but don't really need/want the kilim band. If anyone is interested PM me.
So any thoughts on this? Earlier someone had noted it stains easily. Do others find that? If so is it easy to remove the stains?
Anything white that comes into contact with blue denim will have dye transfer. I haven’t had issue with mine but I also take precaution and don’t wear it in situations where it may get dirty (like alongside denim) and I always gently wipe down bands after having worn them anyway.
The best way to remove stains on the fluorelastomer bands is any "strong" chlorine cleaner. I managed to clean band of all colors with it. Just wrap a sheet of toilet paper around it and soak it with the cleaner - leave it some time ans see, what it does.
...avoid the matal parts though.

I simply spray a salt based cleaner (which has a very small amount of chlorine in it anyway afaik) onto a microfiber cloth and gently wipe the bands down after every use. Works well for both textile and elastomer bands.
I’ve been going back and forth on the bleu jean tricot since I’ve got my eye on the bleu jean single tour (or double tour) and wouldn’t necessarily want both to be the same color, but this makes me think I should go for the bleu jean tricot and pass on the single tour…
But that white stitching…
Sigh.
I guess this is a bit too „special interest“ for the official market place so I‘m putting it here. I have two original 41 mm Hermès deployment clasps from Kilim bands that I don‘t need anymore. I prefer regular buckles so I converted the straps but I know other people love the deployment clasps and may want to convert their straps the other way around. PM me if you‘re interested.
My unhelpful advice is to get both 😆 They are such different bands. But if I had to choose, I'd go for the leather option. As you say, that contrast stitching... 😍
Same as the woven nylons.
