Evoking joy and vibrancy, Nespresso's collab with Chiara Ferragni has also caught the eye of our own style influencer

As a busy entrepreneur and style guru, Aina Syahirah is always on the go. As such, she can always use a little perk-me-up, preferably from a coffee provider that complements her chic sense of style. 

Fortunately, the co-founder of homegrown shoe brand Kulet has an ace up her sleeve— a gorgeous, vibrantly-designed Nespresso Essenza Mini coffee machine created in collaboration with famed digital entrepreneur Chiara Ferragni that turns every drink into an elevated experience complete with a fun pop twist. And to go with it is a collection of brightly-patterned coffee mugs that just happen to complement the bold and whimsical aspects of Aina's personality.

"The Nespresso x Chiara Ferragni collection is perfect for fashion lovers," Aina enthuses. "I was excited when I first heard about it. The collection truly personifies Chiara Ferragni—beautiful, stylish, and fun!"

Aina was one of the first people in Malaysia to get to try out this special limited edition set, which sees Chiara Ferragni infusing Nespresso's machine and accessories with her signature style. Think vibrant pink and Chiara Ferragni's signature eye motifs.

A true meeting of two icons, it combines Nespresso's elegant aesthetic and great coffee blends with Chiara Ferragni's distinctive style that exudes confidence, passion and zest.

The Nespresso x Chiara Ferragni collection is a complete lifestyle set comprising:

  • Nespresso x Chiara Ferragni Essenza Mini coffee machine
  • Nespresso x Chiara Ferragni Aeroccino milk frother
  • Nespresso x Chiara Ferragni Coffee Mug
  • Nespresso x Chiara Ferragni Nomad Travel Mug

"Last year I made a pretty extreme decision to reduce my caffeine intake leading up to my wedding day, and stored my Essenza mini machine away," shares Aina. "After nearly a year, I almost forgot about the machine, but having it again makes a whole lot of difference to my mornings. I love how the machine is easy to operate, and when it’s brewing your coffee—oh, the smell! And it’s not bulky so you can actually pack it with you on your next travel."

Indeed, the whole lifestyle consideration was one of the reasons why Chiara Ferragni said yes to the collaboration in the first place, apart from her love of Nespresso coffee.

"I love the idea that it's not only about drinking coffee but creating a unique experience," she declares.
