Apple Watch to get Coach branded leather bands in June?

Earlier this year, a special Hermes edition of the Apple Watch was introduced in partnership with Apple. Three different versions of the wearable are available. Each one features a special Hermes branded watch face, and a special leather strap. The Hermes edition of the Apple Watch is priced at $1100, $1250 and $1500 depending on which of the three bands is chosen. The price includes the timepiece, of course.

More luxury options will be offered to Apple Watch owners this summer when luxury leather purveyor Coach offers a collection of bands for the Apple Watch. The information comes from a Coach sales associate who gave pretty specific details, and then followed that up by emailing photos to a Haute E'criture writer. 

Eight leather bands will be offered in various colors including White, Black, Red and Brown. Some will come with charms attached, while others will have a pattern or design (like a flower) stitched into the accessory. They are said to bare a strong resemblance to Coach's Spring/Summer 2016 Collection of handbags. The bands will allegedly be priced at $150 each. 

Several of the Coach sales associates at this one location said that the bands will be launched as soon as June. The fact that they are said to look like the bags from the company's Spring/Summer 2016 Collection would seem to confirm a possible June launch for the accessory. If the information is all legit, we should see Coach making this official pretty soon.
