Dyson’s champagne-inspired Airwrap colorway is the most stylish festive limited edition I’ve ever seen

• New Amber Silk color for the Airwrap and other Dyson hair care gadgets
• Combines copper, champagne pink and hints of burgundy
• It’s a limited edition, available to purchase now

Bold and bright are the watchwords for many Dyson products, but recently the brand has taken a subtler, sleeker route in its hair care range. In this vein we now have “Amber Silk”, a new limited edition color available on the Airwrap and other Dyson hair care gadgets.

It’s marketed as a festive color, but it’s a far cry from the garish red and green. Think less of “Santa’s grotto” and more of “evening with an expensive drink.” Amber Silk has a matte metallic finish and combines three understated tones, each inspired by a different element of the festive season.

The main color is “warm copper,” an orange hue inspired by “the glow of ember fires” and – less obviously – “the enduring beauty of the season.” Everything is accompanied by a “pale pink champagne”, a sort of dark pink with obvious festive connotations. Finally, to continue the alcohol theme, “toasted burgundy” accents inspired by mulled wine are present on the buttons and switches.

While I love the tropical blue and orange of my own Airwrap, I can’t help but be enticed by Dyson’s newer, sleeker color options. Earlier this year, the brand launched Jasper Plum and Red Velvet & Gold themes – the latter of which is perhaps more obviously festive than the new Amber Silk, but that’s by the way. Since then, more options have been added for some stylists, and all are firmly in the “sleek and understated” color camp.

Dyson makes some of the best styling tools on the market, but they come with a hefty price tag. The more subtle color options look more premium than the totally tropical tones that came before them and perhaps suit their target audience a little better.
