Kimpton Fitzroy London, a distinguished member of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, recently took guest experiences to new heights by expanding its collaboration with Anthropologie, the celebrated lifestyle emporium.
This exciting partnership will provide guests staying at Kimpton’s hotels in London and across the UK with the exclusive opportunity to access a curated collection of accessories that evolve with the seasons. This collection is a remarkable addition to Kimpton’s “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” programme, offering a delightful array of Anthropologie accessories, including handbags, belts, and bracelets.
These pieces are available for guests to borrow throughout their stay at the Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel and other select Kimpton locations throughout the UK, including Manchester, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.
Embracing Minimalist Maximalism
This innovative partnership responds to the prevailing travel trend known as ‘minimalist maximalism.’ Modern travellers are increasingly opting to pack light while simultaneously indulging in extraordinary experiences. Many are choosing to leave behind non-essential items like jewellery, statement bags, and accessories to make room for unforgettable moments.
However, the fear of leaving behind crucial pieces can lead to what experts have aptly termed “pack-xiety” or packing anxiety. A staggering 56% of travellers have recounted their stressful experiences when attempting to replace forgotten items while on the move. Furthermore, 62% have noted how this significantly impacts their relaxation during their trips.
Kathleen Reidenbach, the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Commercial for IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Americas and Kimpton Global, shared her thoughts on this exciting collaboration. She remarked, “Kimpton is a brand known for its thoughtful perks and unique personal touches that enhance the guest experience and leave lasting impressions. Knowing accessories are often the first items to get cut or overlooked while packing, this partnership and accessories collection with Anthropologie provides guests with a chic solution in the event they’ve forgotten that perfect clutch or want to add a little extra something special to their style or seasonal look – whether it’s for a weekend getaway, business meeting, rooftop concert or night out.”
A Seasonal Selection
The accessories collection boasts a carefully curated range of Anthropologie’s finest jewellery, belts, handbags, and evening bags, all handpicked by Anthropologie’s expert stylists. This collection will be refreshed bi-annually to align with the changing seasons and fashion trends.
Guests at Kimpton hotels can easily access this collection through a QR code provided in their rooms, where they can browse, borrow, and even purchase items to recreate their travel style post-stay.
Barbara Sainsurin, the Executive Director of Brand and Digital Marketing at Anthropologie, expressed her enthusiasm for this pioneering partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to be the first brand to partner with Kimpton hotels for their Forgot It? We’ve Got It! program. At Anthropologie, we are all about being there for our community wherever they are and having the ability to reach both new and existing customers at Kimpton’s properties across the country is incredibly intriguing. Similar to how we pride ourselves on anticipating our customers’ needs season over season, we appreciate Kimpton’s proactive approach to supporting their guests, and we can’t wait to see how they all engage with our Anthropologie products.”
