As the 53rd UAE National Day, Eid Al Etihad, approaches, we’re just in time to find the perfect presents to celebrate the spirit of the seven emirates.
Whether you’re shopping for your loved ones or a present for yourself, here, you’ll find all the rage and range in luxury complete with the most sought-after releases, classics from different luxury houses, to the latest in fashion and trends.
Here, GRAZIA presents a gift guide inspired by the colours of the UAE for Eid Al Etihad. From timeless blacks to classy greens, we have sorted out the masses so you can buy these unapologetic options in time.
Van Cleef & Arpels
There is never a wrong moment to dazzle with a classic Alhambra motif. For the holiday, you can embody the green stripe of the UAE flag with Van Cleef & Arpel’s signature clover motif with malachite stones, to truly showcase the country’s growth. Forever timeless and always distinguishable, it should be no surprise this necklace is the most sought-after. Whether it gracefully dangles, or stacked around to perfectly sit, the opaque-ish deep green hue serves a near-perfect reminder of UAE’s prosperity.
Prada
Always in favour for trends, there’s no better time than now to buy the unapologetically east-west silhouette bag, which seems to be dominating the fashion world. So, naturally, like every woman in the know, it’s only fitting to present a gift that complements the season’s standout accessory, all the while embracing the timeless black and gold accents of Prada’s house codes. Despite the tiny crinkles of the soft leather, the bag’s glossy finishing touch with the sophisticated micro-belt detailing make it all the more deserving of its place as this season’s staple.
Loro Piana
Never afraid to play with tactile structure with their signature kümmel hues, Loro Piana’s latest take on defining a distinguishable shape, The Duo earrings, becomes the picture-perfect example of a statement-making accessory for Eid Al Etihad. Beyond the bold frame of interlocking structures, The Duo features textures that align in a rich blend of metal, satin, and leather—a no doubt epitome of versatility and sophistication.
Solace London
There’s no denying the impact of a modest outfit that uses an elegant and timeless pearly white colourway. Always statement-worthy, this creamy white maxi dress layered with an elongated cape on top brings a modern edge to its modest energy. With a rounded neck and relaxed floor-length crepe-textured cape, this all-white piece adds a flair of simplicity but still omits a vibrancy like no other with its soft and flowy hemlines.
Bottega Veneta
The perfect add-on accessory to complement and balance a standout-ish outfit will always be a noir tassel belt with a fierce golden hilt. Free of the constraints of old standardised belts, this knotted waist-hugging strap is a nod to the ultra-feminine, while still maintaining its ever-so-unique chic presence.
Chanel
Perfectly aligned with the festive season, the latest arrival to Chanel’s fine jewellery collection, Coco Crush, is fiercely making it on top of everyone’s wishlist. Meticulously forged for an ‘enternal allure,’ this stackable mini bracelet which features the iconic quilted motif in 18K yellow gold presents 2024’s timeless elegance in a single circular shape. Whether you prefer it layered in gold, or in two or three’s with diamonds embedded between the quilted marks, this golden armlet is surely in GRAZIA’s must-have for the season.
Gucci
While seasons pass and seasons change, the Signoria slingback in burgundy, the it-colour, never seems to leave anyone’s mouth, more so their feet. Undeniably, the kitten heels seems to have transitioned from a short-term trend to a season-less wardrobe must-have. And this brimming glossy burgundy in patent leather? Seems to be taking charge with its golden chains and open back. Perfect for the women who play with a multitude of styles but still unconventionally stylish no matter.
Carolina Herrera
Whoever thinks we’ve left the balloon sleeves in 2023, clearly hasn’t seen Carolina Herrera’s latest piece. Gone are the days when shirts glammed in the usual straight sleeves. To make-up for the lack of finesse and drama, this front button noir shirt that features a figure-hugging waist and puffy sleeves can become quite the adept piece to pull high-fashion looks and day-to-day casuals.
Hermès
Shining with its silky texture despite its muted green hue, this Hermés Les Courses Scarf features a particular motif that indirectly pays homage to the UAE’s equestrian culture. Designed by Yves Benoist-Gironière, this hand-rolled scarf can be in one of many styles for Eid El Etihad. Whether it’s hanging loosely around your neck, or fluidly poised around your statement bag, this small-sized scarf glimmers a loud energetic set of hues that sit timely with the holiday’s colours.
Killian Paris
One of the many faces of oud may be hard to differentiate between hard hitters and sweet blossoms. But this Rose Oud eau de parfum by Killian Paris, found the whisk to create heaven in a bottle. Capturing the flowery essence of dried roses from France to Morocco, this particular scent has been distilled and infused with hints of saffron, a warm classic touch of vanilla, and the Levantine bakhoor to round its sweetly enticing scent.
