Hermès is making a serious style statement with its first-ever pair of luxury headphones – and yes, they’ll set you back $15,000. Created by the brand’s ultra-exclusive Ateliers Horizons division, these headphones are all about craftsmanship, design, and that unmistakable Hermès flair.

Inspired by the iconic Kelly bag, the design features hand-stitched leather, sleek metallic elements, and the kind of refined detailing that turns a tech accessory into a collectible you’ll have forever.

The luxury headphones will come in signature Hermès shades like naturel (dark beige), black, chocolate, rouge H (deep red), and Prussian blue, all subtle nods to the brand’s heritage.

Even though this launch is a bold move, it isn’t Hermès’ first foray into the audio space. The brand previously collaborated with Bang & Olufsen on headphones and even designed custom leather cases for Apple AirPods. 

The Ateliers Horizons team has also explored sound in unexpected ways before, crafting one-of-a-kind pieces like leather-wrapped jukeboxes and even a luxury boombox.

In other words, Hermès has been quietly tuning into the world of audio for years. But this time, they’ve simply turned up the volume.

As of now, most technical specs are still under wraps, but the emphasis here is clearly on design. With only a limited number expected to be made, these headphones are aimed at collectors, Hermès loyalists, and anyone looking to elevate their everyday essentials in the most luxurious way possible.

They officially launch this summer. So if you’ve ever wanted your headphones to match your Kelly bag, now’s your chance.

I’ve been to London a few times now, and every visit teaches me something new. Like the fact that the Tube is not your friend during rush hour (unless you enjoy being a sardine), or that Piccadilly Circus is basically Times Square in a British accent (overcrowded and kind of meh). The truth is, the city’s charm really shines once you step away from the tourist checklist.

From pub hacks to underrated neighborhoods and smart transit hacks, I’ve rounded up my favorite London travel tips, plus a few gems from travel experts, to help you plan the perfect London vacation. Here’s how to navigate one of Europe’s most iconic destinations like a savvy local.
