There is something to be said about the way Hermes’ effortlessly combines time-proof classics with a touch of playfulness – take a peek at any of their window displays around town and you’ll often notice a vibrant microcosm of the Hermes world encapsulated within the window.

If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas gift – be it apparel, accessories, chic homeware or menswear, it doesn’t really get much more foolproof (no one will say no to anything from Hermes) or convenient. And with four different Hermes stores in town – Liat Towers, Takashimaya, Scotts Square and Marina Bay Sands, dropping by one is a cinch. Here, Female spotlights the best of Hermes’ Christmas gifts line-up, if you’re feeling generous this festive season:
The Cinhetic bag was first seen on the Spring/Summer 2017 runway and it instantly caught our eye with its cute boxy shape and Art Deco-esque clasp that feels both simultaneously modern yet classic.
Going to a vintage-themed party? This Chaine d’ancre lumiere bracelet will instantly win you points with its intricate structure – though it’ll work just as well with a normal party.
Hermes’ Constance bag goes way back to 1959 but the classic style is really quite the archetypal crossbody bag. We particularly like this iteration in printed fabric that has an idyllic retro feel to it – perfect for a picnic, I would imagine.
Pair with this dapper boater hat and you’re all set for a weekend getaway.
Hermes’ signature scarves and twillies (essentially a long and narrow scarf) are perpetually a hit with collectors and we particularly like this Bauhaus-esque number.
Looking for an unconventional side table? This wicker model (can you say #slowlife?) would make a beautiful addition to any home and the basket beneath could be used to store magazines and the like.
Wrap up all your Christmas needs in one go – this deep teal tie would make a great present for the man in your life (if you don’t have one, get for your father!!!) that’s both work-appropriate and stylish.
Design fiends will undoubtedly appreciate this minimalist-chic trays that’s perfect for holding trinkets such as coins or keys – I know I definitely want one.
Taking inspiration from a safety pin, this necklace may be called punk but the end result is really more elegant than anything.
The house classic Cape Cod watch is a handsome model that’s also unisex – ensuring that it’ll be a great gift for almost anyone.
If you’re the kind that likes to wear black no matter what the season, at least switch things up with your footwear – this striking green booties would go well with black jeans or black wide-leg trousers.
Subtly referencing Hermes’ equestrian history, this bracelet comes in four different colour-ways but my pick is this cerise one; it’s perfect for the festive season.
