The partnership brings Maison Kitsuné’s playfulness into the Samsung Galaxy, with the Maison Kitsuné iconic Fox logo coming to life in playful and creative ways on the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Buds2. Maison Kitsuné’s signature esthetic is infused into every aspect of the special edition Galaxy wearables, from the watch straps and faces to the ear buds and their case. A refined new hue, Moonrock Beige, was also created specifically for this collaboration. The partnership channels the overarching Galaxy theme while striking the ideal 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.”
Timely Fashion and Smart: Galaxy Watch4 Maison Kitsuné Edition
The Galaxy Watch4 Maison Kitsuné Edition has Moonrock Beige straps punctuated by a charming Fox-shaped hole and delicate engravings for an eye-catching look. It also comes with an additional custom Stardust Gray strap with the Maison Kitsuné lettering so users can alternate looks and switch up their style. The Galaxy Watch4 Maison Kitsuné Edition includes a holistic suite of robust wellness features1 and One UI Watch, the most intuitive user interface on a Samsung watch yet.

When Style and Sound Collide: Galaxy Buds2 Maison Kitsuné Edition
The Galaxy Buds2 Maison Kitsuné Edition also comes in Moonrock Beige and is housed in a sleek Stardust Gray leather case emblazoned with a reimagined Maison Kitsuné Fox Head logo. The right earbud features the Fox’s head, while the left earbud showcases its tail, meant to represent an uninterrupted journey through the Samsung Galaxy. Users can revel in rich, premium sound quality and fully immerse themselves in crisp and clear audio experiences, thanks to dynamic two-way speakers, enhanced Active Noise Cancellation2 and the comfortable fit of the Samsung Galaxy Buds2.
To take the design collaboration beyond products and craft a broader and richer overall experience, a playlist curated by the brand’s music label Kitsuné Musique was also created especially for the partnership. On top of that, users can also install an exclusive Maison Kitsuné phone theme by tagging an NFC card that comes in the box of the Galaxy Watch4 Maison Kitsuné Edition or Galaxy Buds2 Maison Kitsuné Edition case.
“The Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Buds2 Maison Kitsuné Edition are an exciting fusion of the latest Samsung Galaxy wearable technology and Maison Kitsuné’s multi-faceted Art de Vivre,” said Stephanie Choi, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Marketing for Samsung Mobile. “We’re melding tech with fashion and music to let consumers enjoy better living and wellness in a playful way.”
