10 essential luxe Father’s Day gift ideas for Hongkongers
Our extensive gift guide covers many styles of paterfamilias, so there’s something for every papa
Father’s Day: that compulsory 24-hour period when it’s mandatory for children of all ages to show their unadulterated love for patriarchal figures, when really, it should be a year-round affair. OK, cynicism about its commercialism aside, your dad does appreciate the one-day love fest, so why not make it more than just a boozy brunch this year and splash out on something nice? Forget the standard tie or cologne and peruse our luxury-focused gift guide, each perfectly tailored to a particular dad type.
For on-the-move entrepreneurs
Functionality: that’s the key to a great Father’s Day gift, something your entrepreneurial dad can actually use on a daily basis. There’s Tod’s Eight Bag, named after the number of pockets, with six inside and two outside. It also opens up flat as a makeshift personal desk, for those Starbucks moments when there’s no surface space. There’s also Fossil’s Wyatt Work Bag, available in three colours and big enough to store all his essentials for running around town. Or if the briefcase is a bit too old-fashioned, try Hogan’s backpack, quite fancy with a sleek design in grey leather.
