POSITION OVERVIEW

Aman Essentials

Meticulously designed to frame their natural settings, Aman destinations are renowned for space and privacy. Each welcomes guests as if to the home of a close friend, instilling a sense of peace and belonging amid some of the most diverse natural and historical landscapes. It is an approach that has changed little since 1988 when the first retreat was built on Phuket’s west coast. It was named Amanpuri, meaning ‘place of peace’, and Aman was born. Today, embracing 35 resorts, hotels, and private residences in 21 countries, Aman continues to seek out transformative experiences and awe-inspiring locations around the world.

The Essentials by Aman is a timeless collection of ready-to-wear pieces that answers the needs of the Aman guest– whether they are hiking in Wyoming’s wilds at Amangani, gathering for an alfresco dinner at Amanzoe or simply seeking moments of serenity in a private Villa.

Realized in Italy, from the choice of artisan fabrics to the meticulous manufacturing process, the craftsmanship has been treated as a form of artistic expression, bringing The Essentials to life. Classic fits have been revisited to introduce a contemporary edge, creating modern silhouettes that can be effortlessly styled to suit any occasion.

A focus on sustainability echoes conversations at Aman hotels and resorts around the world, with the considered design of every piece ensuring wearability for seasons and years to come.
