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

• New Amber Silk color for Airwrap and other Dyson haircare gadgets
• Combines copper, champagne pink and a hint of burgundy
• It is a limited edition that can be purchased now

Bold and bright are the watchwords for many of Dyson’s products, but recently the brand has gone down a subtler, more elegant path in its hair care range. It’s in that vein that we now have ‘Amber Silk’, a new limited edition colorway available on the Airwrap and Dyson’s other hair care gadgets.

It’s being marketed as a festive colorway, but this is far from flashy red and green. Think less ‘Santa’s grotto’ and more ‘expensive drinks party’. Amber Silk has a matte metallic finish and combines three muted tones, each inspired by a different element of the festive season.

The main color is ‘warm copper’, an orange shade inspired by “the glowing glow of fire” and – less distinctly – “the enduring beauty of the season”. This is paired with ‘pale pink champagne’, a kind of dark pink with obvious festive connections. Finally, continuing with the booze theme, there are mulled-inspired ‘toasty burgundy’ accents on the buttons and switches.

While I love the tropical blue and orange of my own Airwrap, I can’t help but be won over by Dyson’s newer, more classic color options. At the start of the year, the brand debuted Jasper Plum and Red Velvet & Gold themes – the latter of which may be more overtly festive than the new Amber Silk, but that’s beside the point. Since then, more options have been added for some stylers, and they’re all firmly in the ‘elegant and muted’ color camp.

Dyson makes some of the very best hair styling tools on the market, but they come with a hefty price tag. The more subtle color options feel more premium than the all-tropical tones that came before, and perhaps suit their intended audience a bit better.
