Etihad Airways, the United Arab Emirates' national airline, with minority stakes in 7 other airlines, has presented its new First Class amenity kits, developed in collaboration with French fashion label Christian Lacroix and Hungarian advanced cosmetics brand Omorovicza.

The new kits will be introduced first on flights operated by the airline's Airbus A 380 planes flying between Abu Dhabi and London, New York, Sydney, Melbourne and Mumbai, and from 2017 they will be adopted by the entire fleet.

The embossed kit bags come in two colours: purple for women and grey for men. Later versions will be available in maroon for women and black for men. The bags come in two different sizes, both in the men's and women's versions: a toiletry bag which doubles up as case, and a trimmed folding bag. The women's kit bag can also be used as a smart clutch bag, while the men's functions as a toiletries bag when closed, and as a tablet or iPad case when open.

They contain four anti-aging and revitalising skincare products selected from Omorovicza's 'Gold' collection. The collection's creams, serums, oils and scrubs contain gold with anti-inflammatory properties, fighting the skin's micro-alterations and revitalising mature skin.

Etihad's standard on-board kit includes a perfecting lip balm, to soothe and nourish chapped lips, a hydrating face cream in a fast-absorbing gel formulation, a nourishing hand treatment and a cleansing wipe.

Another four Omorovicza products will be available in First Class bathrooms: 'Queen of Hungary' facial spray, moisturising atomized water, hand and face soap and a lightly perfumed nourishing hand cream.

The amenity kits will also include ear plugs, a comb, a personal care set (cotton swabs, q-tips and a nail file), an oral hygiene set, a sleeping set (with socks and eye mask) and a relaxation set (containing atomized water for pillows and an aromatherapy oil). A shaving kit is also included for men.
