This one’s for the edgy, rebellious friend in your life, the one who wears biker jackets all year round except for the days that they’re dressed down to their vintage The Clash band tees. This rock ’n’ roll take on the Haut à courroies—Hermès’ first bag, preceding the Birkin—doesn’t just look tough with its metal hardware, chains and all-black calfskin exterior. It also comes with its own leather-covered padlock, a reminder that the owner of the bag is not someone you want to mess with.

What can you possibly present to someone who has impeccable taste in jewellery? The new Hermès Kelly watch, of course. Describing it as simply a watch is a disservice, even: the elegant piece can be worn as a bracelet or an arm cuff, and its dangling padlock watch can be detached and used as a pendant on a necklace, or hung from a handbag. Gleaming with rose gold metal and diamonds, this versatile design is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

For the friend who’s always on the go, this travel bag will surely come in handy. It’s called the R.M.S, which stands for “Rolling Mobility Suitcase”, but that’s not the only charming detail about it. The suitcase features an illustrated exterior crafted from printed H Plume canvas, a sturdy and water-repellent material that offers plenty of protection against the elements. The bag offers other practical perks: its wheels glide silently, its handle can be set to a desired height, and it comes with a protective canvas cover to preserve its striking appearance when not in use.
