Let’s face it: Simpler isn’t always better. Sometimes a watch band is just a watch band, but sometimes you’d rather it be a fashion statement. If you want understated elegance, there’s classic black leather. Or perhaps something bright and exotic is the ticket — say, orange ostrich.

Whether it’s because you need to spruce up for a big event, or you just want to look smashing, check out these luxurious and exotic bands, available at the Cult of Mac Apple Watch Store.

Clessant black Barenia

The black Barenia Apple Watch Strap from Clessant is made from rare, vegetable-tanned Barenia leather from the Haas Tannery in France. (Legendary for a reason, Barenia leather was what Hermès has traditionally used for its saddles, and continues to use for its luxury handbags.)

Clessant orange ostrich

Clessant's orange ostrich band.

Perhaps basic black is just a little too plain for you. Maybe something a little more exotic, and a bit more … flashy. This strap from Clessant is made from ethically sourced ostrich leather. The band has an incredible depth of color, and characteristic bumps give it a brilliant texture. Strikingly stylish and original.
