A Vintage or Pre-Loved Gem


Sustainable fashion is gaining popularity as UK consumers grow more aware of the environmental impacts of fast fashion and throwaway culture. More Brits are turning to vintage shops online and in person to experience the thrill of discovering a one-of-a-kind piece.

Exploring vintage markets and online marketplaces like Depop and Vestaire Collective can be an excellent way to find the perfect present for your fashion lover. A vast selection of vintage designer handbags and classic trench coats are available to stand out from the crowd.


A Subscription to a Style Service


Subscription boxes and styling services provide a curated selection of clothing, accessories, and beauty products tailored to your fashion lover's style profile. Many will also provide the flexibility of allowing them to try out clothes in the box and decide which ones they want to keep or send back.

Receiving a monthly box of clothes and accessories offers your fashion lover something to look forward to and the element of surprise. These services also provide the option for personal styling sessions online or in person for individualised choices.


An Experience: Fashion Workshop or Show


Gifting a meaningful event is an excellent alternative if you're unsure about a physical present. It could be tickets to a fashion show, a workshop on sustainable fashion practices or a personal styling consultation. A ticket to a show at London Fashion Week (if your budget allows) would be an unforgettable present.

Whatever you choose, it will create memories and teach your fashion lover new skills about their passion. These events also have great networking potential to get them into the industry if they're considering a fashion career.


Luxury Accessories


A well chosen, versatile accessory will elevate your fashion lover's outfits. Look for high-quality silk scarves, leather handbags and designer belts to complement their favourite looks.

The quality of the materials and craftsmanship of these accessories is crucial. High-quality jewellery, like 9ct diamond rings, makes excellent luxury accessories.


A Designer Collaboration Item


Limited edition collaborations between high-fashion designers and more accessible brands like H&M often generate excitement in the fashion community and become highly sought after pieces.

Look out for recent and upcoming collaborations, such as Louis Vuitton x Murakami, Nike Air Max Dn x Isamaya Ffrench, and Skims x North Face, when picking your present.


Something Special


Whether you decide on a vintage piece, a subscription box, fashion show tickets, luxury accessories or a must-have collaboration, thoughtful gift giving that reflects your fashion lover's style will surely put a smile on their face.
