When we arrive at the topic of luxury gifting for the holiday season, few would discount Hermes’ offerings. With its 2017 Christmas collection, the designer label once again transports us to a world of magical enamel jewellery, opulent silk squares and supple leather accessories.

From the most stylish perfume padlocks to must-have keepsake collectibles, go off the beaten track with these gifts. They’re sure to delight come early Christmas morning.

 

The romantic

For the fearlessly feminine lady in your life (aka you), gift her these elegant concoctions. Will you plump for this rose gold and diamond brooch which will twinkle in the light? Or scoop a dreamy floral scent with the Twilly D’Hermes perfume.

A bright fuchsia bracelet with a palladium-finish clasp makes the case for the most exquisite accessory to own for seasons on end. Whether you’re gifting them to a special someone or yourself (it’s a judge-free zone here), these delicate trinkets will surely charm.

 

It’s a colourful life

To the unapologetic, free-spirited mavericks in the world, we say: go bold. A giant silk twill scarf in pop colours and geometric patterns will best complement such an exuberant personality.

Or, gift the gift of an urban staple – the Hermès Skateboard in Cavalcadour printed Vosges maple (perfect for instances when they’re late for work too). Add some fashion flair to a home with a splash of colour from these playful printed porcelain tumblers; they’ll brighten up anyone’s day.

 

 

She means business

The professional career woman needs a good ol’ trusty timepiece; that’s a fact, take it from us. Score her a super chic one and up her arm candy game with the Cape Cod Quartz watch with an opaline silvered dial and a wristband in barénia calfskin.

Killer suede boots are a must too (a lady’s got to strut in style, right?) — and there’s nothing that screams ‘festive’ more than a pair of opulent green kicks. For the stylish, ever-serious lady who you know will be travelling aplenty this season, dress her hands with soft buttery glazed lambskin gloves to go with that fierce attitude.

 

Like what you see? Head on down to the Hermès stores located at Liat Towers, Takashimaya, Marina Bay Sands and Scotts Square to pick up these covetable Christmas gifts now — we’ll catch you at the checkout counter.
