There are MagSafe chargers, and then there is the Hermes Paddock Yoyo Charger. The French luxury brand has crafted a leather charger case for your Apple devices that costs much more than the iPhone 17 Pro Max or the MacBook Air. This accessory comes as a part of the Hermes spring tech collection, which includes the Paddock Solo charger, Grand Paddock Case, and the Paddock Duo Charger.
This new collection of leather-wrapped charging accessories for Apple devices by Hermes is certainly targeted at the rich and famous. Clearly, style and status symbols are at the fore in this line-up, but we got most intrigued by the unique design of the Yoyo Charger and the subtle luxury of the Grand Paddock Case.
Designer: Hermes
Both the Yoyo Charger and the Grand Paddock Case are crafted in Gold Swift calfskin with artisan-level saddle stitching. The use of premium materials and attention to detail make it opulent to the feel and touch. The Yoyo Charger has two MagSafe charging zones for fast charging of your multiple Apple gadgets like iPhone, AirPods, or Apple Watch. Complementing the yoyo-shaped charger is the travel-ready Grand Paddock Case, which comes with an inner storage pocket and doubles as a protective casing for the Yoyo Charger.
The internal charging system relies on MagSafe and Qi-compatible wireless charging technology, making it compatible with MagSafe-enabled iPhones starting from the iPhone 12 generation, as well as other wireless charging accessories. Power is delivered through a USB-C connection, and the charging system requires a minimum 20W power input to function properly. While a USB-C cable is included with the charger, the package notably does not include a wall power adapter, meaning users must supply their own power brick.
While this might feel unusual given the price point, it aligns with the increasingly common practice among electronics brands to exclude power adapters from accessory packages. Pricing across the Hermès charging collection highlights the brand’s focus on exclusivity rather than affordability. The Paddock Solo charger starts at around $1,250, while the Yoyo and Paddock Duo chargers are priced at approximately $1,750. When paired with the larger leather carrying cases, the price climbs dramatically. The Yoyo Charger bundled with the Grand Paddock Case reaches around $5,150, a price that exceeds many premium laptops and smartphones.
For most users, the functionality of these chargers will be similar to far more affordable wireless charging pads available on the market. However, for collectors of Hermès leather goods or those who appreciate the blend of luxury fashion with everyday technology. The French luxury high-fashion house has collaborated with Apple for years, most notably through luxury Apple Watch bands, and this charging accessory lineup extends that partnership into the broader ecosystem of Apple devices.
