The Valextra Gift Guide arrives with a present for every personality type. From the Elegant Explorer to the our collection of immaculately crafted handbags and small leather goods caters to the most selective of relatives and loved ones.

THE ELEGANT EXPLORER

Every day heralds a new opportunity for the Iside handbag to extol its virtues on the arm of the Elegant Explorer. From visiting exhibitions and seeking out the latest restaurateur to the latest theatre extravaganza and every art fair in between, the Iside has been crafted to be an immaculate companion at all.

THE COSMOPOLITAN ARTIST

The Cosmopolitan Artist demands a handbag that is as practical and capacious as it is stylish. This requires throw-everything-in holdalls, over-the-shoulder staples, and quiet style statements. Step forward our Soft Totes, Hobo and the Reporter handbags that make for modern masterpieces every season.

THE CONNOISEUR COMMMUTER

Whether they work in the city or from home, the Connoisseur Commuter looks for a bag that is discreet and discerning in equal measure. For the everyday, our structured backpacks, briefcases, and travel cases complete professional ensembles, providing the perfect finishing touch with concealed compartments to stay organised on the go.

THE SOIREE SOPHISTICATE

Holiday-season soirees are made all the more contemporary with a Valextra icon in a mini edition – see the Iside, Origami and Bucket soft handbags that exude personality on a micro scale. Consider a Valextra clutch bag or a lanyard accessory for the Soiree Sophisticate, who will carry it for complements for years to come.

THE DESIGN AFICIONADO

The gift of time comes in the form of a design classic, which puts the Tric Trac in the spotlight. This icon of engineering, craft and style is the gift of a lifetime that the Design Aficionado will treasure. If they already have one in their repertoire, our new-era icons the Milano and the NoLo bring something new to the holiday party.
