Etihad Partners With Christian Lacroix For First Class Amenities

Etihad has just launched its new First Class amenity kits, designed in partnership with two of the leading fashion and beauty brands. The cases have been designed by Christian Lacroix, while the product range now features one of the most prestigious skincare brands, Omorovicza.

While they will initially be introduced on A380 flights between Abu Dhabi and London, New York, Sydney, Melbourne and Mumbai, they will become fleet-wide in early 2017 in two phases. The first phase sees a plum ladies case and grey men’s case, while the second will see a burgundy for ladies and black for men.

The two cases, a fold over bag for women and a flat case for men have been designed to have a second life as a stylish clutch for the ladies or washbag for the gents and is even the perfect size to slip in an iPad.

The bags contain four anti-ageing and rejuvenating items by Omorovicza, hand-picked from the brand’s ‘Gold’ collection. The branded products include a perfecting lip balm; a facial moisturiser with cooling gel-cream; a nourishing, lightly scented hand treatment; and a refreshing cleansing wipe. These are supported by a range of other comfort items including ear plugs, a comb, a care pack (consisting of cotton pads, ear buds and an emery board), a dental pack, a sleep pack (with comfortable socks and eyeshades), and a relax pack (with pillow mist and pulse point oil). The offering for men also includes a shaving kit.

Going further than the amenity kits, the First Class washrooms will also feature four Omorovicza items: a Queen of Hungary face mist; a fragrant and refreshing face and hand wash to cleanse and hydrate the skin without stripping it of its natural oils; and a nourishing, lightly scented hand lotion.
