Trends move fast. Taste doesn’t. When it comes to gifting fashion and fragrance, the pieces that resonate most are the ones built to stand the test of time. From hand-crafted bags and cashmere clothing to fragrances that double as objets d’art, these are pieces that don’t shout for attention, but quietly elevate everything around them. Chosen with care, designed to last, and worth keeping long after the holidays.
Akris Ai Medium Shoulder Tote
If there’s one handbag that truly earns its place, it’s the Akris Ai Medium Shoulder Tote. Designed in Switzerland and crafted with the brand’s signature precision, this architectural icon is a masterclass in intelligent design and material innovation. Made from calf leather with a fine cervo structure and paired with an animal-friendly horsehair fabric panel, the bag feels both distinctive and quietly modern. True to the Ai’s transformative nature, its trapezoidal silhouette can be folded and secured with the signature turn-lock to shift effortlessly between a rectangular shopper, a pure trapezoid tote, or the house’s iconic Ai shape. Finished with a removable zip pouch, interior compartments, and considered organisation, it’s a piece designed for longevity rather than trends.
BLONE 639 Eau de Parfum
BLONE Haute Parfumerie approaches fragrance as more than a finishing touch. It is an extension of identity, emotion, and intention. Built on values of open-mindedness, empathy, and wellbeing, the brand treats scent as a sensory language that can uplift, ground, and empower. 639 Eau de Parfum captures this philosophy beautifully, opening with an energetic burst of citrus before revealing a generous floral-fruit heart of jasmine, rose, peach, and mirabelle plum, softened by white musk and vanilla. The result is a fragrance that feels expressive yet refined, bold yet deeply wearable. Designed without gender boundaries and supported by a clear philanthropic commitment, it is a festive gift that elevates personal style through scent while standing for something meaningful.
De Marquet’s Signature Baby in Iron Light
De Marquet’s Signature Baby in Iron Light is the kind of gift that feels instantly unique yet designed to endure beyond the moment. Its compact, sculptural silhouette and soft metallic sheen catch the light the way freshly fallen snow does — quietly, elegantly, irresistibly. Crafted in Italy from laminated dollaro leather and finished with the house’s monogram clasp, it elevates even the simplest winter look. Worn by hand or crossbody, this petite companion moves effortlessly from day to night, making it ideal for the busy season ahead. Shaped by the rhythm and refinement of modern women, a philosophy rooted in founder Raffaella Iten’s vision, the Signature Baby is a keepsake designed to accompany life’s many moments, sparkling under the tree and long after the holidays fade.
INUIKII Classic Sneaker
A Swiss winter essential designed to balance form, function, and longevity, INUIKII’s Classic Sneaker in Taupe moves effortlessly between everyday city life and relaxed alpine moments. Lined with soft shearling and finished with a comfortable, supportive shaft, it delivers warmth and all-day ease without compromising on style. Crafted from high-quality materials and completed with an eco-rubber sole, its clean, timeless design is built to outlast seasonal trends, making it a reliable companion for casual winter looks and many winters to come.
Valmont Laguna Verde I Extrait de parfum
For the festive season, Valmont Laguna Verde I is the kind of fragrance that goes far beyond scent. An extrait de parfum crafted with Swiss precision and a deep respect for natural resources, this is a gift that is meant to be worn, kept, and admired long after the holidays pass. Opening with the crisp green freshness of violet leaf, it unfolds into a powdery iris heart before settling into the woody, slightly leathery depth of papyrus, leaving behind a confident, sculptural trail. What truly sets Laguna Verde I apart is its presence as an object: housed in a striking bottle adorned with a hand-blown Murano glass mask and finished with a hand-stitched Italian leather cap, it reads as an objet d’art as much as a fragrance, designed to grace a vanity and remain part of everyday life long after the holidays have faded.
FTC® Loungewear
Designed for winter days that call for warmth, ease, and longevity, FTC® Loungwear is the ultimate lesson in sustainable luxury. Founded in 2003 by Andreas and Jutta Knezovic, FTC Cashmere was among the first to champion a fully vertically integrated, fair-trade supply chain, overseeing every step from their own goat farms in China to knitting in their own factories. This rare level of traceability ensures exceptional quality, animal welfare, and fair working conditions, while preserving centuries-old craftsmanship connected to nature. The result is cashmere that feels as good as it looks: soft yet resilient, fluid yet structured. With their relaxed silhouettes and natural warmth, the brand’s lounge wear collection is designed to be worn on repeat throughout the colder months, offering understated elegance and everyday comfort.
