Gorgeous gifts for 2017
From bags to charms and skin care, here’s how to bring smiles to loved ones’ faces this festive season
The festive season is now upon us and for those of you who haven’t finished your shopping or given your home a festive touch, here are some suggestions to make the holidays both colourful and special.
Loewe
Luxury Spanish brand Loewe evokes a sense of the holiday season by playing with colourful stripes to create a graphic punch for bags, purses, wallets, silk scarves and irresistible bag charms.
The primary visual theme underscores Loewe’s newest technique of marquetry, in which the three-dimensional bags are hand-assembled from laser-cut leather fragments in different shades in a perfect combination of craftsmanship and modern innovation.
A new and small iteration of the ladylike Barcelona bag is available in plain colours and in stripe-printed calf and nappa. For a more humorous touch, check out the green-forest Frog purse made from calf as well as instantly desirable panda and elephant charms.
Other must-buys include the smaller size Meccano pins and the coveted calf knot key rings in new palettes.

Pandora
Danish brand Pandora brings colour to your life with a new range of hand-finished jewellery in four themes. The Cosmic Beauty features a burst of faceted midnight blue stones and trails of shimmering cubic zirconia on sterling silver. The Patterns of Frost draws its inspiration from a frost-covered landscape with luminous tonal crystals in artistic patterns decorating rings, earrings and charms.
The Celestial Tales is a stellar series of galaxy-inspired designs with bright bursts of shining silver. Dazzling star trails are reimagined on the undulating forms of a stone-set bracelet and matching earrings.
The Magic of Christmas borrows the unique design of the decorative ornaments first used in the 1700’s to adorn Christmas trees. The series features faceted stones baubles with sweeping lines of shimmering stones, sterling silver festive icons and glittering charms in seasonal motifs.
