Mr P. Full-Grain Leather Duffle Bag
In Partnership with Mr. Porter

High-end retail hub MR PORTER put their signature design touch on this premium duffle bag, offered through their in-house label (Mr P.). Crafted from full-grain leather and presented in sleek black, it takes an everyday accessory to a fashionable extreme. It’s also brilliantly ergonomic and functional, with an adjustable strap for easy transport and a roomy interior.
Not only does this leather duffle have enough space for your gym kit, clothing, and tech, but it features a zipped pocket for smaller goods. There are also two top handles in addition to the adjustable shoulder strap, giving you more than one carry option. But at the end of the day, it’s the full-grain leather construction and the attention to detail that puts this duffle in a class of its own. If you can afford one, get one.
Hublot Big Bang Unico Black Magic 42MM
Price: $34,300 AUD
Hublot’s Big Bang series is coveted by collectors and enthusiasts and for all kinds of good reasons. Material plays an integral role in that it must complement the aesthetic while providing ample protection and durability over time. As such, the watchmaker employs high-tech ceramic on certain models; an avant-garde and ultra-tough material that’s nearly as scratch-proof as diamond. What owners get in return is a visual stunner that’s every bit as sturdy as its muscular appearance would suggest.
Presented in the timeless colour of black, this particular model runs on Hublot’s own in-house UNICO movement. To gaze upon the watch’s “open heart” dial face is to behold the movement in all its meticulous glory, such as the double coupling system and column wheel. Over 354 components come together to make the magic happen and deliver a power reserve of up to 72 hours.
Sandblasted and superior, Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Black Magic isn’t just a timepiece, but more like a wearable work of art. Get one for your favourite collector and prepare to make their year.

Things to Consider for Luxury Gifts
When it comes to luxury gift ideas, simply wrapping a bow on a new Rolex isn’t quite enough (although we’d all love that). In fact, if you want to get the special occasion right, there are a few things you need to consider:
- Price: Perhaps the most obvious consideration, the price will inevitably play a factor in your purchasing decision. While you may want to splash out for a significant birthday or gifting event, more often than not, you’ll be aiming around the $50-$100 mark for most gifts. In the luxury world, however, gifts don’t exactly come cheap. To get the most out of your gift idea, don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price.
- Brands: Luxury lovers are notoriously brand loyal, so before you set off and buy your special someone a new accessory, make sure it fits their aesthetic. Buy a Dior man a Fendi keychain and he may never speak to you again.
