# Medicine-Themed Bracelets Raf Simon's New Aluminum Space Bracelets Have Pillbox Compartments By Amy Duong | Published 2018-07-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-space References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/7/raf-simons-fall-winter-2018-space-bracelet-release) & [shop.showstudio](https://shop.showstudio.com/products/raf-simons/aluminium-space-bracelet-with-white-leather-strap?taxon_id=426) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pharma-collection) for the season. The luxury house draws a spotlight to its [pillbox compartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-stylish-pill-box) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Medicine-themed Bracelets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of fashion and medicine by designing jewelry that can conveniently store and dispense medication. - **Aluminum Space Bracelets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create space-saving accessories that can discreetly carry essential items, such as medicine or emergency supplies. - **Geometric Aluminum Encasing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative ways to incorporate geometric shapes and materials, like aluminum, into different products, resulting in unique and functional designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to create functional and stylish accessories that serve a specific purpose, such as medical jewelry. - **Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce new materials and designs to the jewelry industry, catering to consumers who value both fashion and functionality. - **Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with retail locations to offer unique and niche accessories that cater to specific needs, potentially reaching new target markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Integrated Smartwatch Pillbox Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-pillbox.md) - [Healthcare-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-coterie.md) - [Luxurious Safety Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-safety-bracelet.md) - [Minimalist Leather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plik-1.md) - [Design-Led Pill Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-stylish-pill-box.md) - [Industrial Heritage-Honoring Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaker-system.md) - [Pharmacy-Inspired Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pharma-collection.md) - [Medication-Storing Health Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medbot-smartwatch-concept.md) - [White Hospital-Style Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lmc-3.md)
