Shopping for Father’s Day can be tricky, especially when trying to find something that’ll please even the most discerning of dads. The goal isn’t to give something with appeal that wanes. It’s to give something that’ll bring joy and become more appreciated as the years go by. Luckily, Louis Vuitton has something for every dad out there, crafted to the Maison’s unwavering standards, whether it’s for the dad who loves to immerse himself in a new album, one who’s always looking to squeeze in a tee time, the kind who always has a great idea he’s got to jot down or the dad who enjoys the intricacies of a fine timepiece.
Make this Father’s Day one to remember these six S-approved gifts from the Parisian icon of luxury.
Ombre Nomade, $480.
Inspired by the shimmering shadows of the sun on desert sand dunes, Ombre Nomade is a fragrance for those who appreciate rare essences, with notes of oud wood underscored by a hint of benzoin and raspberry accents. As the day carries on a smoky waft of incense reveals itself. One of Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud’s finest achievements, Ombre Nomade brings new life to the mythical essence of oud wood. While Ombre Nomade is almost certain to enchant, each order comes with a sample, allowing dad to discover the fragrance before wearing it.
1.1 Millionaires Sunglasses, $1,090.
A classic silhouette that harks back to early-1900s Chicago, the 1.1 Millionaires Sunglasses feature a deep bevelled front, which, combined with the smoky lenses contribute to a mysterious aura. The glasses feature gold-coloured accents along the top, as well as S-hinge detailing drawn from Louis Vuitton’s rich archive. While perfect for warm weather getaways, the glasses are fit for more formal wear thanks to the luxe detailing and Louis Vuitton’s famed attention to detail.
Tambour Street Diver, $9,550.
A watch fit for the most discerning dad and outfitted for daily wear. The 44mm automatic Tambour Street Diver, in steel, is Louis Vuitton’s sportiest timepiece. The Swiss-made watch melds together the Maison’s contemporary and cosmopolitan sensibility with the precision of a diving watch. This model’s urban green face and matching rubber strap bring a time-honoured ruggedness to the 27-jewel self-winding watch’s contemporary silhouette, giving it all the makings of a modern staple on dad’s wrist.
Keepall Bandoulière 50, $3,450.
Ensure that the next family getaway—whether a week or a weekend—is undertaken in style. A stalwart of Louis Vuitton’s offering, the Keepall Bandoulière 50 is capacious while still being cabin-friendly, perfect for frequent flyers who have mastered the art of packing. First introduced in 1930, the bag is still, to this day, made in either France, Spain, Italy or the United States and can easily be slung over the shoulder, across the body or carried by hand. Customizable tags offer the perfect canvas for a superior and personal gift. The natural leather detailing, classic, rich monogrammed leather and premium metal finishing make the Keepall a bag that gets better with age, so your gift can keep on giving.
Yellow Gold and Titanium Les Gastons Vuitton Small Tag Pendant, $4,650.
A gift that can be worn close to the heart, day in and day out. The elegant, minimalist pendant is strikingly original and pays tribute to the creativity of Louis Vuitton’s grandson, Gaston-Louis, to whom an entire collection is devoted. For those who are already familiar with Les Gastons Vuitton, the yellow golf and titanium blue pendant can easily be matched with other pieces. For those who aren’t, the piece’s simple, striking beauty and versatility—it can also be worn as an earring—make it the perfect starting point for a new jewellery collection.
LV Nanogram Speaker, $2,960.
For the dad who always knows what song to play. The LV Nanogram Speaker represents a new era in the world of portable speakers, with a unique and compact shape that offers a signature audio experience. Inspired by the Maison’s ethos of artful travel, the Nanogram Speaker is easily portable, with references to trunks and bags from the Louis Vuitton archive. Inside, a 17-hour battery powers an 84 decibel SPL speaker, with Bluetooth capabilities permitting stereo mode when two Nanogram speakers are paired together. The sandblasted silver trim is both timeless and future-forward, high-tech with a nod to the Maison’s artisanal side. Together it all comes together to make the Nanogram Speaker not just the perfect fashion accessory, but the ideal accessory, full stop.
