New F amenity kits

Saw that there are new amenity kits in F on A380's designed by Christian Lacroix and with Omorovicza skincare products. Liked the old ones but these look to be a pleasant change after J changed them last year

Is it just me or were the previous F kits more interesting/better looking? I also liked that they were trying to be Emirati rather than vaguely international...

Really disliked the “old”/previous F amenity kits - we both just left them on the plane. Even my granny wouldn’t have liked them . I get the Emirati thing but still. Lets see what the new ones look like in the flesh, as it were. Though these do look better IMHO ^

These look stylish and much better than the current one.
Are these already in circulation?

According to Arabian Aerospace, EY claims these kits will be introduced fleetwide in early 2017. Does anyone here know what they mean by "early"? Is it jan/feb or april/may?

And as with everything else when it comes to the mid-east airlines everything is ridiculously late. Will we see these kits before 2018/19?

I asked EtihadPremium on Twitter yesterday and was informed that these kits were launched yesterday on all A380/787 flights and 2017 for all other flights...

Travelling Apartments on the 380 next month so will be expecting one! ^

I never had a problem with the traditional Emirati woven designs. More disappointed with the small-ish quantities of products, unlike the generosity of QR's and EK's amenity kits.

Looks like the new kits still have relatively smaller amounts of product.

EY has always struggled with amenity kits. Seriously, when EVA AIR offers nicer amenity kits in J than EY does in A380 F, you know there is a problem.

I'd say QR F has amenity kits with better contents, although these EY F kits might be a bit more stylish.

I'm flying next month from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai in F and hope to get one. I personally think it's generous of Etihad to offer amenity kits on this short flight but then I remember getting an amenity kit as well on my EK F BKK-HKG flight a few years ago so I guess it's standard
