Chanel may not, strictly speaking, have a holiday gift range but its Cruise 2022 collection is every bit as good. Every season, the house turns out a dazzling plethora of bags, shoes, leather goods, costume jewellery and accessories around a theme. This season, its a punk-meets-artsy spirit inspired by the works of the poet, artist and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. The result are recognisable classics given fun, collector-worthy twists: fringed totes! Pearl hairbands! Quilted AirPods cases!
It’s a lot of stylish good fun and potentially even solid investments should you decide to veer towards more classic designs like tweed ballet flats and velvet flap bags.
Below, our picks of the best pieces from Chanel’s Cruise collection to gift (for yourself, even!) this festive season.
