To celebrate its first 15 years, Oribe has introduced a limited-edition collection of 15 curated favorites, packaged in artisanally crafted bottles and scented with a custom fragrance created by a renowned French perfume house. This set includes travel-size versions of the brand’s top sellers.
“We set out to design products that didn’t yet exist — ones that could stand up to Oribe Canales’ extremely high standards as a top stylist and salon owner. Our earliest followers were session hairdressers, and their belief in the products spread out through the models, celebrities, and beauty editors they used them on. In turn, they recommended them to the beauty-obsessed people who became our customers. Today, we’re even more committed to carving our own path.”
— Daniel Kaner,
Oribe Co-Founder and President
The design of the limited-edition box set includes clean lines, neutral colors, and recyclable materials. The Oribe logo is subdued in blind embossing and highlighted by the striking rose gold foil-stamped number "15” woven within the logotype.
