Tom Ford, Snowdon Square-Frame Acetate Sunglasses
Sporting a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses has long helped the wearer distinguish themselves from the sea of Ray-Ban enthusiasts. Not that there’s anything wrong with Ray-Ban (you’ll find plenty at the Man of Many office), but Tom Ford’s eyewear offering is undoubtedly a cut above and this pair of MR PORTER exclusives are a perfect example why. Made from lightweight acetate and with their classic, slightly ‘60s-esque shape, they’re the kind of sunglasses that will never go out of style, finished as always with iconic rose gold-tone accents in the shape of the designer’s initial at each temple. Price: AUD$479
Mr P., Cashmere Hoodie
From the moment it launched, MR PORTER’s in-house brand Mr P. has been a powerhouse of both premium staples and standout statement pieces. This luxurious cashmere hoodie falls into the former camp, and will stand you in good stead from the cool coastal change of Australia’s summer evenings right through to the chill of our winter months. As Mr P. is a brand known for working with leading fabric mills to source quality fabrics, you can feel confident the soft and insulating cashmere of this hoodie will make it the most comfortable you’ve ever worn. Price: AUD$811
Montblanc, Star Legacy Chronograph Limited Edition
Many great watches have a source of inspiration that helps to fuel their legend, but few can match that of Montblanc’s Star Legacy; the deep blue of its dial is a tribute to the ‘blue hour’ – the moment when the moon rises over the Mont-Blanc mountain and casts a deep midnight shade over the Mer de Glace, the valley glacier below. The dial is also stamped to replicate the glacier’s texture. In addition to these stunning details, the timepiece serves up an intricate MB 25.13 automatic movement, while the stainless steel case, classic bracelet strap, and domed sapphire glass crystal offer the height of elegance. With only 1786 made, this Montblanc timepiece will make sure this is a Christmas the recipient never forgets. Plus, it comes with a two-year warranty for all working parts and manufacturing faults. Price: AUD$6,654
Burberry, Logo-Print Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt
There are t-shirts and there are t-shirts. This effort from London’s finest is most certainly the latter, absolutely nailing this wardrobe cornerstone with a simplicity that stands apart from the brand’s usual flair for complexity. Cut from white cotton-jersey in a relaxed fit and boasting the fashion house’s logo in contrasting black, it’s a perfect example of how perfecting the basics can be just as important as pushing the envelope. It’s a go-to top that both you and your nearest and dearest will want to wear every day. Why not start with December 25? Price: AUD$720
Common Projects, Original Achilles Full-Grain Leather Sneakers
Recently recommended to us by Regé Jean Page, Common Project’s immaculate sneakers are an item that the star of Bridgerton can’t live without. If that doesn’t make them a must-have this Christmas, well, we don’t know what could possibly qualify in their place. Made from supple yet durable full-grain leather, their streamlined tennis-shoe shape is one that will remain in-style from one year to the next. With the ability to be dressed up or down, they will quickly become one of the most-worn items in the wardrobe of anyone fortunate enough to receive them this Christmas. Price: AUD$392
Assouline’s ‘Art Deco Style’ Hardcover Book
Whether you ascribe to the idea that a person’s coffee table books say a lot about them or merely that said books say a lot about what a person wants you to think about them, this is an undeniably stunning addition to any coffee table. Documenting the design style that originated in the ‘20s and remains popular today—including within the Man of Many office—this beautiful tome features 200 captivating illustrations and photos of skyscrapers, automobiles, ocean liners, fashion, appliances, and more that encapsulate this iconic style.
No matter who you’re buying for this year, give them the taste of luxury that will make them as merry as Santa Claus himself. To discover MR PORTER’s full range of premium gifting options, simply click the link below.
