Where would we be without our mothers and mother-figures? While we should always take a moment to remember the mums who have lost children, those who have lost mums, those who have chosen not to be mums, and those yearning to take on that role, May 14 is a lovely opportunity to gift a special woman something incredible. Below, our editors Jessica, Pema, Ava, Laura and Kim have listed their top luxury buys for the season. Happy Mother’s Day, everyone.
Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU Small, $8,900 shOP NOW
When new iterations of Fendi’s Peekaboos hit the runway along Via Solari in Milan in September, the show became as much about the handbags as it did the silky parachute pants and rubber platforms. Now available to buy, the iconic small Peekaboo ISeeU bag is our editors’ pick. With the House’s signature gold finish metalware, the front panel of this beauty is embellished with hand-crafted, tone-on-tone interlace. And, it’s pink (read: the true star of the Fendi SS23 season).
Ferragamo Bi-material Ballet Flats, $1,250 SHOp NOW
In good news for our feet, the sky-high platform is done, and the era of the ballet flat is here. These updated Vara bow ballet flats by Ferragamo make for the perfect finish for those on the go who still want to maintain a little luxury in their everyday outfits. The pastel blue hue and square toe make it a versatile and flattering choice, while the mesh side detailing gives these shoes a modern edge.
Tiffany Lock bnagle in Yellow and White Gold with Half Pavé Diamonds, $22,400 SHOP NOW
Unlocking the key to your Mum’s heart on Mother’s Day—especially when competing with contending family members also vying for her affection with their gifts—can often feel more laborious than necessary. Removing the competition element entirely, Tiffany & Co’s new lock bracelet is the preeminent way to spoil your Mother in lavish luxury. Symbolic of an eternal bond and dripping in diamonds, the Lock is the ultimate motif of eternal togetherness. Plus, who can ever say no to anything wrapped in a robin egg blue box?
Ferragamo sunglasses, $525 SHOP NOW
After seasons of slinky slimline frames–oval! Cat-eyed!—sunglasses are going back to big. At Ferragamo, this return to supersized is heralded with a new rectangular frame, a move sure to rival the success of the Maison’s iconic F-heel. With metal temples and anti-scratch lenses, these sunglasses—like every garment Maximilian Davis touches—are a modern, timeless staple.
Chanel Chance Body Cream, $134 SHOP NOW
It’s a universal truth that a moisturiser is the one element of your skincare worth splurging on—and a good beauty routine should never skip the body. With spicy floral notes of the iconic Chance fragrance and a buttery smooth formula to treat the skin, this luxurious body cream is the ultimate indulgence.
Celine PARADE EAU DE PARFUM 100ML $465, SHOP NOW
In the mind of Celine’s Hedi Slimane, there are no limitations placed on sensorial experience, especially of the olfactory kind. This Mother’s Day, a new type of luxury can be experienced with just one spritz from the luxury French Maison’s library of haute parfumerie, unlocking a fragrant odyssey of both Celine and Slimane’s archives. The ritual of layering your scent is something so bespoke and intimate, especially when you’re selecting from an elite range of transportive perfumes; the saccharine elegance of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the sensual enveloping of Dans Paris, or the salty, sun-drenched woodiness of Eau de Californie. Where will your next journey be?

Snooze Madison Grosvenor mattress, queen $4199 SHOP NOW
