To inspire your gifting (whether it be for your loved ones or as an end-of-year treat for yourself) we’ve handpicked some of the most outstanding pieces and items from the best luxury Christmas collections out there right now in the realm of fashion and beauty.
Dior Book Tote
Dior under the rule of Maria Grazia Chiuri has continued to relay the brand legacy of refinement, with the added introduction of a mythical touch and streamlined in part for today’s functionality. The stunning Rêve d’Infini pattern that takes centre stage on the current collection’s embroidered pieces has been created by Roman artist Pietro Ruffo, who merged the spellbinding motifs of roses, the traditional Sevillian knot, and flourishing ornate shapes.
Like the tapestries of a castle wall, the Dior book totes’ eminence have been like an elaborate answer to the ever-fading trend of micro-handbags. Cast in pristine shades of black and gold,as a snow white base with multicoloured cartographic detailings, and in the classic Delft combination of porcelain and navy, the imagery of this wintry season has been conjured up and threaded into the handbags through intricate detailing. Ruffo’s motifs will also be making appearances on the gifting boxes and wrappings, which allow for personalization in the form of written-to-order messages.
