This keychain is rectangular and made of leather and chrome with a chrome key ring. A black leather strip forms a loop where the key ring is attached, and the strip is secured by two highly polished chrome slabs.
One of the chrome slabs has a centered Apple logo that is etched into the metal, giving the logo a frosted look. The black leather loop is stitched in black thread.
The condition of this keychain is slightly used with a few scratches. The body of the keychain is 0.75 inches tall and 2 inches wide. The keychain loop adds an additional 0.75 inch to the length.
The AirTag Leather Key Ring was designed to contain an Apple AirTag, a small, disc-shaped accessory that uses Apple’s Find My network to easily locate items.
This color of the AirTag Leather Key Ring was among Apple’s final accessory offerings in leather when they discontinued the material’s use in 2023 due to environmental concerns. In a September 2023 press release, Apple reported, “Apple has…ended the use of leather across all of its product lines.”
According to Apple:
“The leather key ring is thoughtfully crafted from the finest materials. The stainless steel is as striking as it is strong, while the European leather is specially tanned and soft to the touch. And it fits snugly over your AirTag, so you never have to worry about it falling out.”
When the AirTag was released, “a wide range of Apple-designed AirTag accessories” were also available. Accessories included: a Polyurethane Loop, a Leather Loop, and a Leather Key Ring. In addition, Apple and Hermès introduced the AirTag Hermès with an “assortment of handcrafted leather accessories including the Bag Charm, Key Ring, Travel Tag, and Luggage Tag.” The Hermès accessories were sold with a custom-engraved AirTag with the Hermès Clou de Selle logo.
This AirTag Leather Key Ring is Forest Green, shade of dark green.
