As Blair Waldorf famously quipped, “Whoever said that money doesn’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop.” The queen bee of Gossip Girl was onto something: come Christmas Day, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone gushing over a greeting card. But it’s smiles all around for the women who get to unwrap a brand new bag, or a pair of designer shoes, or some stylish sunglasses. This holiday season, aim to please with the finest fashion offerings and accessories that money can buy from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Loewe and more. In our Christmas gift guide, we spotlight our top picks for presents—all of which are conveniently available at ION Orchard. Thank us later.
LOEWE
In the year of quiet luxury, logos were largely deemed passé—except for Loewe’s Anagram, whose elegant swirls emerged as the most desired luxury motif on fashion search engine Lyst this year. For the fashion lover who likes making others green with envy, this versatile Mini Puffer Goya clutch bag will definitely do the trick.

LOUIS VUITTON
In the right woman’s hands, a silk scarf is full of styling possibilities—even a festive one. This Louis Vuitton Xmas Vivienne Square 90 comes in a vibrant red that’s sure to stand out when wrapped around your recipient’s neck, or tied to her favourite handbag. In other words, it’s an accessory that she’ll treasure for many holiday seasons to come.

GENTLE MONSTER
If she has her finger on the pulse of fashion trends, or is simply a faithful reader of GRAZIA, she knows that glasses are all the rage. And she wouldn’t actually need a prescription to enjoy this pair of ‘70s-inspired Mua T4 glasses from Gentle Monster’s 2024 Collection, which features green lenses that are subtle enough to pass off as clear lenses, while blocking UV rays effectively.

MARIMEKKO
For the party girl who lives to be seen, this Marimekko Siluetti Keidas dress will prove irresistible. For starters, it captures all the zest of the swinging ‘60s, especially thanks to its archival print from that era. She won’t just stand out in a room in all that pink; she’ll also flutter effortlessly from one friend to the next because of the dress’s A-line silhouette. Oh, and did we mention that it has pockets?

Featuring a pair in cream and another in muted brown, this set is ideal for that friend who is always packing for another ski vacation or trip to Japan.
