Accessory Triple Tip
For those still to find that exceptional item that adds an edge of originality and panache to a gentleman’s Christmas morning, I have three suggestions that might just fill your gap.
First idea is a pair of Merino wool country socks from Emma Willis on Jermyn Street. These work on ladies too, which is worth bearing in mind. See Emma’s excellent testimony, and excuse idiot interviewer if you’d be so kind. The cosiest £85 to spend on feet.

Secondly, the gentleman’s city umbrella from James Smith and Sons. Pointy, tightly rolled and envied by others. The best is the whangee handle in my opinion. Best and most useful and stylish prop one can bestow upon a chap.

Last chance on the stairway for late shoppers is to be found at the Parisian boot makers on Conduit Street, Berluti. Famous for shoes in fantastical hues, with a shine like magical elf-wear, they also deploy their Venezia leather in bag making. Choose from three options geared to specific lengths of time, in French, that will suit your targets needs or pronunciation abilities accordingly.
Un Jour £1,190
Deux Jours £1,330
Trois Nuits £1,420
