Raf Simon debuted his Fall/Winter 2018 range earlier this year, with careful references to the dramatic works of Christian F. and Drugs -- his new Aluminum Space Bracelet follows the same theme. The new accessory is the latest contribution to the medicinal exploration theme for the season. The luxury house draws a spotlight to its pillbox compartment within a geometric aluminum encasing.
When the Aluminum Space bracelet opens up, it reveals a space that can hold medicinal substances. It boasts an unconventional shape, standing out against its simplistic band of just a white leather strap enclosed by an aluminum buckle. The latest accessory piece by Raf Simons is priced at $3,317 and is now available for purchase at select retail locations, including SHOWstudio.
