It's time to party, Faubourg Faubourg Party! 🎉

My Hermès S6 was due for retirement and figured it was time to upgrade. Unboxing this year's Apple Watch Hermès decade of partnership packaging was a delight, but the star has to this fall's Faubourg Party strap.

In a beautiful shade of deep blue, the jacquard knit material is similar to HU En Mer straps, but smoother and softer on exterior texture and durable interior. Out of the box, it's stiff but molds to your wrist and becomes flexible after subsequent wear. I was anxious seeing earlier 46mm samples where the strap wasn't very wide at the lug, but relieved with the one I received—not too narrow at the lug and sewn tight.

It's definitely in the top 5 of my favorite AW Hermès strap and ugh, gonna have to double up 🤭

*Apologies for the poor color balance and lighting*

Could you do me a favour, and show me the Faubourg strap on the HU3 with the Maritime face? I’m wondering how it would look on the Ultra. Is it as wide as the En Mer?
