As the holiday season approaches, many of us might still be scratching our heads when it comes to finding the ideal presents to give our nearest and dearest. Fortunately, this year, Hermès has got you covered with a dazzling line-up of gift ideas with something for everyone. They range from the traditional and much loved – including fragrances, jewellery and other accessories – to the highly innovative and delightfully unexpected.

Perhaps the most notable example of the latter is a charming ash wood bicycle, which comes with a basket in ash wood and bull calf leather – a particularly stylish new iteration of the bikes the esteemed Parisian luxury maison has been making since 2013.

There are also, naturally, bags aplenty, including the RMS carry-on suitcase in H Plume canvas and Régate bull calf leather; the two tone Verrou horse blanket bag in embroidered Swift calfskin; and the Galop D’Hermès sports bag, on which Evercolor calfskin is beautifully offset by attention-grabbing tweed tartan side panels.

Anyone re-entering the travel fray will want to lay claim to their baggage as smartly as possible, with the Apple Air Tag Hermès travel tag in Barénia leather, a favourite material of the maison’s equestrian division. And those staying closer to home can still get a bit of that Hermès magic, courtesy of the Hermeway smartphone case in Epsom calfskin.

Shoe lovers are well served by an imposing pair of sandals in suede goatskin with a towering double sphere heel, while for men there’s a sharp pair of calfskin loafers featuring the brand’s immediately recognisable Kelly buckle.

The range of other accessories is exhaustive: a hand-printed Étriers Chromatiques scarf in cashmere and silk, a head turning cap in water-resistant cashmere cloth and calfskin, as well as a cashmere and silk beanie; the equally covetable Avalon III cushion and throw blanket in wool and cashmere; pairs of both gloves and fingerless gloves in cashmere and silk; a belt made from the brand’s own remarkably soft, sensuous Tadelakt leather and, to complete the look, the Double 6 tie in heavy silk.
