New MAISON KITSUNÉ and BEAMS Business Class amenity kits from end of Aug 2019
https://press.jal.co.jp/en/release/201908/005290.html
For flights departing Japan, an amenity kit designed in collaboration with MAISON KITSUNÉ will be provided for JAL`s Business Class customers. MAISON KITSUNÉ was founded in 2002 in Paris by Gildas Loaec and Masaya Kuroki. The word kitsune is derived from a Japanese word for fox, and in Japanese folklore, it is said that foxes have the ability to shapeshift into various forms. Staying true to its name, MAISON KITSUNÉ is known as a fashion brand that expresses a fusion of modern and culture. This will be their first collaboration to create an amenity kit for the airline industry.

I got one of these last weekend when I flew back to NY. As a man, I have to say I really liked it because it felt way more masculine than some of the others I've gotten (looking at you, sakura pink Tsurumaru bag I got on the way to Japan in the beginning of August). The inside has a nice red, black, gray, and white camo design. Overall, quite nice.

The JL website now shows a smaller, sack like business amenity kit for its South East Asian flights. Can anyone confirm what type of kit one receives on the overnight SIN-HND and the evening NRT-SIN flights. Thanks.

I have a couple of those in my suitcase, haven’t opened them but looks like toothbrush, eye mask and ear plugs. Just like those they used to hand out in a basket. Can open one up to see contents when I get home.

That plus the moisture mask is what is in the bags. Have opened plenty.
