Dyson’s champagne-inspired Airwrap colorway is the classiest festive limited edition I’ve ever seen

• New Amber Silk color for the Airwrap and other Dyson haircare gadgets
• Combines copper, champagne pink, and hints of burgundy
• It’s a limited edition, available to buy now

Bold and bright are the watchwords for many of Dyson’s products, but recently the brand has been going down a subtler, more elegant route in its haircare range. It’s in that vein that we now have ‘Amber Silk’, a new limited edition colorway available on the Airwrap and Dyson’s other haircare gadgets.

It’s being marketed as a festive colorway, but this is a far cry from gaudy red and green. Think less ‘Santa’s grotto’ and more ‘expensive drinks party’. Amber Silk has a matte metallic finish and combines three subdued tones, each inspired by a different element of the festive season.

The main color is ‘warm copper’, an orangey shade inspired by “the ember glow of fires” and – less obviously – “the enduring beauty of the season”. This is paired with ‘pale pink champagne’, a sort of dusky pink with obvious festive connections. Finally, continuing on the booze theme, there are mulled wine-inspired ‘toasty burgundy’ accents on the buttons and switches.

While I do love the tropical blue and orange of my own Airwrap, I can’t help but be won over by Dyson’s newer, classier color options. At the start of the year, the brand debuted Jasper Plum and Red Velvet & Gold themes – the latter of which is perhaps more obviously festive than the new Amber Silk, but that’s by the by. Since then, more options have been added for some stylers, and all of them are firmly in the ‘elegant and muted’ color camp.

Dyson makes some of the very best hair styling tools on the market, but they come with a high price tag. The subtler color options do feel more premium than the totally tropical tones that came before, and perhaps fit their intended audience a little better.
