The iconic Fox logo was used in playful and creative ways on the Galaxy Watch4 Maison Kitsuné Edition and Buds2 Maison Kitsuné Edition. The brand’s signa- ture aesthetic is infused into every aspect of the Galaxy special edition wearables, from the watch straps and watch faces, to the earbuds and their case. A refined new hue, Moonrock Beige was created specifically to channel the overarching Galaxy theme whilst striking the perfect balance between trendy and chic. “We are ecstatic to be bringing our distinct style and iconic Fox logo to Samsung Galaxy wearable designs,” said Maison Kitsuné co-founder, Gildas Loaëc. “We loved the idea of the Maison Kitsuné Fox traversing the galaxy and we had a lot of fun coming up with the new Moonrock Beige colour and other subtle motifs and design elements that illustrate the Fox’s journey through time and space.” The Galaxy Watch4’s Moonrock Beige straps are punc- tuated with a charming fox-shaped hole and delicate engravings for an eye-catching look. It also includes an additional custom Stardust Grey strap featuring the Maison Kitsuné lettering, so users can alternate looks and switch up their style. This wearable watch also comes with Galaxy Watch4’s holistic suite of robust wellness features and One UI Watch, Samsung’s most intuitive user interface yet. Also, in Moonrock Beige and a sleek Stardust Grey leath- er case emblazoned with a reimagined Maison Kitsuné Fox Head logo is the Galaxy Buds2. The right earbud features the fox’s head while the left earbud showcases its tail to represent an uninterrupted journey through the Samsung Galaxy. Thanks to its dynamic two-way speakers, enhanced Active Noise Cancellation and comfortable fit, users can revel in rich, premium sound quality and fully immerse themselves in crisp and clear audio experiences. In addition to their curated design, Maison Kitsuné has created a playlist through their music label to provide a broader and richer overall experience. On top of this, users can also install an exclusive Maison Kitsuné phone theme by tagging an NFC card that comes in the box of the Galaxy Watch4 or Galaxy Buds2. Both wearable technology pieces are available online and in stores. www.samsung.com/us/explore/brand/maison-kit- sune-edition
