Limited-Edition Holiday Hues with Dyson

Dyson recently unveiled its limited-edition Strawberry Bronze range for the 2024 holiday season, exclusively for the Hair Care range. Engineered as carefully as its machines, Dyson Hair Care allows for expressive creativity and bold choices. 

The Strawberry Bronze was inspired by Dyson farming sites nestled deep in the British countryside. Strawberries grown onsite offered a magnitude of hues, all brought together to create a complex shade of pink tinged with hints of red, peach, and orange—creating a unique and striking finish. Taking further inspiration from nature, the hints of blue that shade the buttons are a nod toward uncut sapphires, giving contrast to the pink.

Oribe Artistic Gift Sets by Thandiwe Muriu

For the Holiday 2024 Collection, Oribe is proud to partner with Kenyan fine art photographer Thandiwe Muriu to create the packaging of six limited-edition gift sets. Muriu’s artistic vision — deeply rooted in her African heritage — embodies the jubilant spirit of community and togetherness with this year’s artwork.
