December has officially begun and Christmas is just a few days away: have you already thought about the gifts to put under the tree? If the answer is no, don't worry, the La Belle Époque team is here for that.
There is nothing better, for us and especially for the planet, than a vintage or second-hand gift, and with us, you can find everything you are looking for!
Here is our official guide with 10 gift ideas (for him), for all tastes and all budgets:
1. A wallet
One of the most gifted accessories every year is certainly the wallet, and the reasons are many: it is an item that tends to be used by everyone and is indispensable; moreover, being used every day, it tends to wear out easily.
Our favourite, under 200€, is certainly the Gucci wallet in monogram canvas and leather. Many compartments for cards but also a practical coin purse: a vintage jewel in excellent condition.

If your budget is a little higher, we recommend the Prada wallet in saffiano leather. An accessory with a minimal and elegant design.

Some believe that a wallet is a luxury accessory worth spending higher amounts on; in these cases, we recommend playing it safe with the “Must de Cartier” model. Made in burgundy leather with gold-tone metal corners, a small luxury object to carry in your pocket at all times.

2. A tie
The tie is a must-have accessory in every man's wardrobe. Some use it every day for work, while others save it for special occasions. In any case, it is something that cannot be missing from a wardrobe.
Here are our favourites:
The Gucci tie in antique pink silk with a striped pattern and embroidered gold bees.
If your man has a slightly eccentric or unique style, the Gianni Versace tie will be perfect. Made of high-quality silk, it features a vibrant baroque pattern in red and yellow that captures attention with its elegance and chromatic richness.
There are men who cannot give up a fun touch, even when they dress up. For them, the Hermès tie with the turtle print is the ideal gift!
3. A belt
Never like this year has the belt played such a fundamental role in our outfits. From a simple accessory with a utilitarian purpose, the belt has become a fundamental fashion item to complete and give a precise direction to looks.
You don't have to spend a fortune to dress cool, and the Gucci canvas and leather belt is certainly proof. The monogram makes any accessory cool, and the discounted price makes this belt accessible to every budget.
For those who prefer never to be banal when they dress, the Dolce&Gabbana belt will be the perfect ally for bold and always fashionable looks.
An Hermès cult accessory, the reversible belt is made of box calf and Togo calfskin and features a worked silver-tone H metal buckle.
4. A pouch
When talking about men's pouches, there are two very distinct factions: those who cannot stand them and prefer to keep their hands free, and those who own at least a dozen to swap and match with various looks. For the second category of men, here are our choices for pouches:
A timeless classic, the Louis Vuitton pouch is an accessory that never goes out of style. The black monogram makes it versatile and suitable for both daily use and more formal occasions.
For that friend/partner who always wants to impress with their looks, we think the Etro pouch is the perfect gift. The nautical-themed print makes it ideal for summers on a boat, paired with an all-white look with a touch of blue.
A true jewel to have in your wardrobe, the Chanel “Deauville O-Case” model is a medium-sized pouch with a matelassé nylon lined interior, featuring a zip pocket.
5. A bracelet
A bracelet is not just a feminine accessory, especially when it comes to “Dior Oblique” bracelets. Whether in the large version or the small one, they are embroidered on a navy blue background. The drawstring with tassels is handmade and allows you to adjust the length, making them perfect to wear on any occasion.
6. A hat
When it comes to staying warm, the head wants its share too. So why not gift a soft hat for Christmas? Here are our favourites!
Made of wool knit with an all-over Zucca pattern in beige and brown tones, the Fendi beanie is the perfect accessory for winter looks.
For the most fashion-forward, the Dolce&Gabbana velvet beret: ideal for a retro touch.
An accessory to wear all year round, the Balenciaga baseball cap will especially appeal to the younger crowd. It is made of bicolor white and black cotton, decorated with the maison's embroidered logo in a maxi version, for a trendy vintage look.
7. Sunglasses
The sunglasses are a fundamental accessory in both summer and winter. Not only do they protect us from UV rays, but they often become the perfect decorative element to make our look special and unique. This is why sunglasses become an ideal gift if you want to play it safe with something luxurious and timeless!
The Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses aviator model are perfect for those who love a classic style but want a touch of modernity.

Also an aviator model but with a much more significant design, the Gucci Havana eyewear is a must for those who love vintage style.

For the more flamboyant, we recommend the Skepticals eyewear by Louis Vuitton: an accessory that will not go unnoticed.

8. A duffle bag
Traveling in style is possible when you choose a duffle bag from our selection.
The classic Louis Vuitton Keepall duffle never goes out of style; on the contrary, it continues to gain value. It is, therefore, the perfect gift for the frequent traveler. Discover it also in Epi version.
Not just a duffle bag, but a true Gucci canvas suitcase. The maison was born from the world of luggage, and this piece is a must-have for any collection.
For those who prefer a more minimal yet equally cool touch, the Bottega Veneta duffle bag is the right choice. In leather, featuring the brand's iconic intrecciato, it is an ideal limited edition for short trips or weekend getaways.
9. A mini bag
If the recipient is not a fan of clutches, you can always opt for a bag in mini version! Ideal for practicality and convenience, but also for enriching and making every look unique.
The Gucci mini crossbody in canvas with leather details, for example, is perfect for holding just the essentials.
If you are looking for a more fashionable and unique accessory, then you can choose the Bottega Veneta mini Cassette Candy. In nylon, making it super practical.
The Zucca canvas crossbody is a small-sized shoulder bag featuring an all-over logo and a maxi brown leather logo on the front.
10. A sweater
To face the freezing winter, sweaters are our number one ally. For this reason, they can be a highly appreciated and useful gift: the key is to carefully choose the right color and style, ensuring the new arrival integrates perfectly into the recipient's wardrobe.
For those who love to stand out, Dolce&Gabbana sweaters are perfect. We particularly recommend this model with an all-over logo, exclusively for true fashion lovers.
For those who prefer a more minimal and clean style, we recommend the Maison Martin Margiela sweater, in alpaca blend, featuring an intrecciato finish in a dark grey color that pairs with any shade.
Finally, we recommend the Missoni sweater, in textured cotton. An ideal model for those who love vintage style and bright colors.
