It’s another holiday season and another welcome set of holiday gift kits from Aesop in what’s becoming a new and a very welcome tradition for us to watch. You may remember thet last year’s kits were designer by Iris van Herpen, who designed the packaging with her signature ethereal patterns. This year Aesop decided to go for ancient Greek culture – after all, the company is named after a Greek fabulist – which it wrapped in a layer of whimsy with its theme “Of Muse and Myth.” For the artwork Aesop enlisted the New York-based artist Giovanni Garcia-Fenech, who created original illustrations for the kits.
Smartly, the kits satisfy various levels of budget, they range in price from $57 to $177, and the products in them are lined up according to whether you want something for your house, for your body, or for your face. We also welcome a chance to save a few bucks with these – for example, the contents of the $177 The Orator kit would set you back $199 if bought separately. So, maybe get one for yourself?
The kits are available now at all Aesop stores. Below is the full lineup.
