His and Hers: The Luxury Leather Accessories Gift Guide 2015

This article is more than 8 years old.

There’s nothing quite like the happiness and satisfaction that comes from delivering the perfect gifts to friends and loved ones this holiday season. Along with getting the room-encompassing present that is often too large to fit under the tree, don’t forget about stocking stuffers, which are meant to remind us that big things come in small packages.

That said, this doesn’t mean it has to be something sparkling, and be worth its weight in carats. Small leather accessories—whether it's a great agenda from Smythson, one of Prada’s colorful wallets, or fur-trimmed gloves from Perrin Paris—will not only merit a beaming smile, but may even be put to good use throughout the year ahead.

Check out the must-have leather accessories for Fall/Winter 2015 below.

Her:

In Mint Condition

Prada ’s Fall 2015 collection is all about fun, flirty colors, from bright pinks to enchanting mint greens. The clothes certainly imbued a youthful, ladylike charm, but retained the polish and grown-up elegance of which the brand is known. Its accessories are no different.

Clamor For Glamour

During the roaring ’20s, gloves were as ubiquitous as underwear—women would never leave the house without them. This was a time when Perrin Paris, a glove brand founded in 1893, thrived. Sadly, covering one’s hands is not as common as it once was, which is why Perrin Paris re-launched as a full-scale accessories line. But if you still clamor for the days of glamour, and want to wear gloves that are inimitably chic, know that this brand is still the best in the business.

Plan Ahead

For over a century, Smythson has been offering the most luxurious and sought-after gifts. From their beautiful leather handbags to the chicest journals ever, this London-based line never fails to offer a sense of magic with each item.

Keyed Up

Along with a wallet and perhaps a phone, keys are an item that everyone makes sure they have before walking out the front door. So, avoid getting locked out of your homes with Longchamp’s Le Foulonné Key Ring. With its bright pink color and timeless design, its something you’ll want to keep close at all times.

His:

Green With Envy

The made-in-Italy marker, especially when it comes to leather goods, is unparalleled. Bottega Veneta, one of the most celebrated Milanese brands, certainly keeps this ethos in mind when they craft a variety of products, from sleek coats to elegant home goods. Their jewelry is equally refined, and imbues a sense of dolce vita.

Suave Suede

From wallets and folios to iPhone cases and driving gloves, Vianel, a luxury leather goods company based in New York, has all the accessories that a stylish, modern man needs. And though driving in the city is not commonplace, when you do, do it in style. So, shift your sartorial gears to the next level and get your hands on these suede stunners.

Orange Is The New Black  

It must be annoying to see this phrase applied to anything and everything orange , but after seeing Valextra’s 6CC Wallet, no other title could best describe it. To put it bluntly, orange is a hard color to work with—especially for men. However, Valextra has managed to make this bold hue look tasteful, leaving us no option but to put those old black wallets under lock and key.

Princely Purple

Airline travel may not have the same élan as it did in your grandparents’ era, but that doesn’t mean that you have to look like you came from the gym. Dressing up is still the gentlemanly thing to do, and will undoubtedly make you feel less sluggish when you go through TSA. Start with the item you literally can’t travel without—your passport.
