IIRC, slippers can be provided on some routes only, like japan. (There was a time when it was either socks or slippers, never both. But this might be dated info)

The long haul destinations I've travelled with AY in J are JFK, BKK, SIN, PVG and have always received the Marimekko slippers. FWIW, I've never received socks in J (but the Y+ amenity kit contains them).

Maybe that's how it unfolded. The "either or" approach wasn't working and they went with slippers and no socks on all destinations. Anyway, it looks like OP can leave his slippers at home then!

On today's flight they had a new Marimekko pattern on (some of) the amenity kits. Blue spirals on white background. Looked a bit messy to me. I wonder what the pattern is called.

the new marimekko pattern has a very weird color combination. I mean, big circle pattern in green with blue lining of zip, srsly? I missed the gray wave pattern that I never got. I also noticed how much they cut the cost of skincare products in the kit, first in Clarins, then dropped to L'Occitane, and now fell to Lumene (in its lower-end products).

On last night's HKG-HEL flight I noticed that the amenity kit had Clarins products instead of Lumene. Also as opposed to the normal Lumene products, the Clarins products were a lip balm and hydrating cream. Is Clarins used parallel to Lumene or is this a new thing? My HEL-HKG flight amenity kit had the usual Lumenes a couple days earlier.
