If you’re flying First Class with Emirates this year, your carry-on just got a major upgrade. The 2026 collection continues the airline’s “Fly Better” promise, ditching the standard plastic-wrapped basics for collectible vegan leather and high-perfumery.
The 2026 Aesthetic: “Modern Roman Elegance”
This season, the kits are divided into two distinct style profiles, moving away from traditional “his and hers” toward a more textured, high-fashion look.
- The Palette: Expect Onyx Black and Champagne Gold as the primary colors, accented with the iconic Bvlgari “Jewel” zippers.
- The Material: The cases are crafted from high-quality vegan leather. The women’s kit features a “chunky” vanity-style silhouette, while the men’s version is a sleek, structured toiletry bag that fits perfectly into a Tumi or Rimowa carry-on.
What’s Inside: The “First Class” Exclusives
Emirates doesn’t just give you generic lotion; they give you a full Bvlgari fragrance ritual.
For the Ladies: The Le Gemme Orom Kit
The star of the show is the Le Gemme Orom fragrance—a deep, sophisticated scent featuring notes of Vanilla Bourbon and Oud Assam.
- The Mirror: A signature gold-lacquered Bvlgari keepsake mirror.
- Skincare: Bvlgari’s Nourishing Face Emulsion and Body Lotion (full travel sizes, not just sachets).
- Extras: A newly designed sustainable wooden hairbrush and a dental kit that feels remarkably premium.
For the Gentlemen: The Le Gemme Kobraa Kit
The men’s kit centers around the Le Gemme Kobraa fragrance, inspired by Black Snake Jasper, giving off a woody, incense-heavy vibe that’s perfect for landing in a global business hub.
- Grooming: Includes Bvlgari aftershave balm and a Gillette ProGlide razor.
- The Toiletry Bag: A chestnut brown faux-leather case with tan accents that is widely considered one of the most reusable kits in the industry.
The “First Class” Secret: The Byredo Suite
While the Bvlgari kit is the showstopper you take home, don’t forget the Byredo Skincare Collection waiting in your suite. Exclusive to Emirates First Class, this stationary kit includes:
- Eye Cream & Sleep Oil: Designed specifically to combat the dry, pressurized air of the A380 or 777.
- Pillow Mist: To help you drift off on those 14-hour long hauls.
| Feature | Why It’s First Class |
| Fragrance | 30ml bottles of Bvlgari Le Gemme (High Perfumery). |
| Sustainability | Transition to wooden combs and bamboo-based dental kits. |
| Reusability | The bags are designed to be used as clutch bags or tech organizers. |
| Shower Spa | On the A380, these products are replenished for your mid-air shower. |
The Verdict
The 2026 Bvlgari kits aren’t just “amenities”—they are collectibles. In an era where many airlines are cutting costs with “sustainable” paper bags, Emirates is doubling down on Italian luxury.
Pro Tip: If you’re on a long-haul flight (over 9 hours), you’ll get the full-sized kit. On shorter “regional” First Class hops, the kit is slightly scaled down, so check your route before you plan your unboxing video!
Which Bvlgari scent is your favorite—the woody Kobraa or the floral Orom?
