Give the gift of self-care with AESOP
Aesop presents its limited edition Gift Kits for Christmas. This year, Aesop takes inspiration from cinema—an art medium that has long influenced the brand’s products and store designs worldwide. The packaging for this collection of kits draws on the glitches, light leaks, and scratches that feature on well-worn celluloid, realized in painterly, colorful designs that echo the materiality of film. Screen 1 is for the gracious house with items that bring the comfort of scent home, Screen 2 features favorites from the Geranium Leaf line, while Screen 3 promotes self-care for hands and body. These Gift Kits are available in stores and online.
