This luxurious leather Apple Watch charging kit from Hermès is more expensive than a MacBook Pro.

      Hermès' charger kit is priced so high that it makes Apple products seem inexpensive.

      Hermès is elevating its longstanding collaboration with Apple, and it’s as lavish as one might anticipate. The luxury label has unveiled a new range of leather-covered wireless chargers for Apple devices, including models compatible with the Apple Watch.

      While the upscale design is the main attraction, what’s truly eye-catching is the staggering price tags.

      What are the costs?

      Hermès’ latest collection can reach up to $5,150, surpassing even the highest-end version of Apple’s latest MacBook Pro. The “Paddock” charger series includes several products, all enveloped in the brand's signature calfskin leather.

      Here’s a breakdown of the pricing:

      - Paddock Solo charger – $1,250

      - Paddock Duo / Yoyo chargers – $1,750

      - Grand Paddock charging case – up to $5,150

      The pricier offerings in this collection not only serve as chargers but also function as leather storage cases, designed to hold your cables and accessories in true Hermès fashion.

      What’s included?

      Looking beyond their exorbitant prices, these products are mainly wireless charging accessories. They charge Apple devices like the iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, all supporting the MagSafe standard. Some models even feature dual charging zones.

      However, despite their appealing look and hefty cost, there’s a significant drawback. Even after spending thousands, buyers will find that the Paddock line does not come with a power adapter. You’ll need to provide your own, preferably a 20W adapter or higher.

      More about style than function

      Hermès is not typically associated with tech accessories; it is a luxury brand known for its premium handcrafted fashion goods. Thus, the Paddock collection isn't designed for practicality; it’s essentially a purchase of the brand prestige that accompanies it.
