Holiday Gift Guide 2024: The Best Home Gifts For Fashion Fanatics

“It’s attainble luxury,” notes Kelley Carter, Fashion Director of Home at Bloomingdales, when asked about the appeal of home accessories by fashion designers. “I also think that many people can’t name the top interior designers, but they do know all the fashion designers. I die over Kelly Wearstler but my friends want the Hermes blanket.” Brigitte Chartrand, VP of Womenswear and Everything Else for Ssense, took over the “Everything Else” department (which includes home accessories) last year and has very strategically developed the assortment. “We feel that if a customer is loyal to a brand, they will buy that brand in these other categories. ” If this sounds like someone you know, this gift guide is for you, a visual journey through home decor offerings by fashion types, including jewelry and accessories designers.

A few things to remember when shopping this category: First, the higher end the fashion brand, the higher priced their home collection offerings. Second, almost every designer offers a candle, incense or other home fragrance, which is usually the least expensive or “entry level” price point into the category (we didn’t include any here). While ubiqitious, candles do make excellent gifts and are also very re-giftable. Third, consider the giftee – are they into logos or quiet luxury? Most brands offer both in terms of home decor. Finally, some items are true investment pieces, due to craftsmanship or limited release, so consider applying the “cost per wear” rule of a spendy fashion purchase to home accessories as well. Happy shopping.

Ralph Lauren Home

We’re leading with Ralph Lauren because he is one of the OGs of our time in terms of home collections – he launched his line in 1983 and it is still going strong. Today the brand offers pretty much everything to outfit an interior, from furniture and lighting to bedding and tableware. Barware is, in this writer’s humble opinion, one of their top categories and ultra-giftable. The Isabel Cocktail Shaker, shown here, is weighty, gorgeous, and comes with a strainer. $295 at Bergdorf Goodman.

La Double J

JJ Martin founded La Double J in 2015 as a a shoppable magazine and, two years later, debuted original collections of new, “feel- good fashion and homeware smothered in eye-popping prints.” This festive tray measures about 15 inches across and is made in Sweden FSC certified lightweight laminated birchwood. $100 at La Double J

Hermes

There are few things that elicist screams of joy as much as a specific orange box tied up with brown ribbon. Hermes for the win! Home collection items include blankets, beach towels, boxes, picture frames, dinnerware, exquisite furntiure and a host of catch-alls in various sizes and materials. This one features a design by Benoit Pierre Emery that evokes a miniature French garden. Available in three colors, $730 at Hermes.

FoundRae

FoundRae is a New York City-based jewelry brand created by Beth Hutchens. It debuted in 2015 and developed a cult following, especially for her medallions based on “archetypal mythological and classical symbols.” Four years ago, she introduced a collection of housewares, which today includes ceramics, glassware, home fragrance and brass pieces. This vanity mirror was inspired by her “Strong Hearts” link chains; there are also candle holders, and a wall mirror made using the same link motif. This mirror is $1,000 at Foundrae.

Loewe

Loewe’s quirky-cool aesthetic is evident in this door stop (or decorative objet, depending on your point of view). There’s a stone underneath all those calfskin straps, which are sliced and woven by hand by Spanish artisans at the brand’s atelier in Madrid. $825 at Abask.

Tiffany & Co.

What Hermes is to Orange, Tiffany is to blue. If the giftee is a fan, these bone china “coffee cups” are probably a spot-on present. But it’s worth noting that the brand offerings quite the range of home items, from china to silver and glassware, including an extensive collection by the late, great, Elsa Peretti. The cups shown here come in two other sizes; these, with a 19 oz. capacity, are $540 for a set of four, at Tiffany & Co.

Off-White

The late Virgil Abloh was known fashion designs for his own label, Off White, and for others, most notably Louis Vuitton. Many do not realize that he earned a Masters in Architecture, and debuted furniture collections at Design Miami and the Venice Biennale. This sculptural magazine holder can be hard to find, but worth the effort. It’s made of light blue enamelled metal and features Off White’s iconic arrow logo. $568.92 at Bergdorf Goodman.

Christian Louboutin

Earlier this year, Christian Louboutin, creator of iconic red-soled stilettos , debuted a collection of chairs created with his friend, the famed interior designer Pierre Yovanovitch. They introduced nine designs, including this “Nefertari” chair, which features an embroidered and laser engraved upholstery seat inspired by the ancient Queen’s headdress. The embroidery alone took 38 hours, the legs, which took 20 hours to hand carve, feature golden bronze heels at the feet and, of course, red soles. In an edition of ten. $28,000 through Pierre Yovanovitch.

Tory Burch

Tory Burch’s line of tabletop and drinkware, linens, candles and beach towels flies fairly under the radar in comparison to her fashions. But peruse the offerings and you’ll discover a really interesting collection encompassing various styles and incorporating a lot of color. These delightful stems feature a hand-painted design and are sold in a set of two. $128 at Tory Burch.

Gucci

Gucci’s home collection is quite extensive, running the gamut from furniture to wallpaper in addition to the more expected tabletop and linens. There are gifty items galore, from a post-it-note holder to an upholstered pet bed that looks like a miniature sofa. While there are plenty of pieces plastered with their iconic logo, we liked the understated vibe of this elegant velvet and leather pillow. Also available in grey and dark blue. $1,150 at Gucci.

Clare V

Clare V has dabbled in some home decor but, earlier this year, the Los Angeles-based designer introduced her first proper collection in collaboration with Schoolhouse. It includes sofas, lighting, and smaller objects including this cast metal catch-all, available in five colors. $59 through Schoolhouse.

Loro Piana

Loro Piana is an Italian heritage brand that is the embodiment of low key luxury. So it’s no surprise that their decor would subscribe to the same philosophy of design. While other brands have pizza wheels, this may be the only pizza board in this category. It’s handcrafted by artist Lucas Castex from walnut wood, and the handle is covered in soft woven straw. The set includes a matching pizza cutter and cashmere storage sack with leather drawstring and a kit for caring for and cleaning the wood (two cashmere cloths and a small bottle of olive oil). $2,800 at Loro Piana.

Ulla Johnson

The beloved designer collaborated with Cabana on a collection of (mostly) tabletop that debuted earlier this month. The plates shown here are $90 and $95 at Ulla Johnson.

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton’s iconic monogram flowers find new life as wooden bookends with bright lacquer accents. They’re a perfect example of IYKYK quiet luxury. $1,980 at Louis Vuitton.

Edie Parker

Edie Parker, for the uninitiated, is “a modern lifestyle brand, crafted for a good time,” known for cheeky chic handbags in fun colors. Their home collection follows the same philosophy. This tabletop lighter, for example, evokes 1970s jello molds, and is designed with a detachable ashtray (the green base). $195 at Ssense.

Dior Maison

Dior’s home collection — Dior Maison — may be one of the better kept secrets of the fashion world. While not as extensive as others, it’s a pretty solid selection, that includes many giftable items like these engraved glasses. $370 at Dior.

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta has partnered with Flos to create a special edition of Gino Sarfatti’s iconic Model 600 table lamp. The lamp was designed in 1966, which is the same year Bottega Veneta was founded in Vicenza. This version of the lamp incorporates Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato and Intreccio Foulard editions. It is available in several colors, from $1,500 at Flos.
