Accessories make some of the greatest Christmas presents for any fashion lover – they elevate an already-stylish wardrobe and always feel like a treat. Some of the best leather accessory gifts are of course long wearing and classic, too. You can’t go wrong with a chic cardholder or a purse made in soft suede or lambskin, after all.
Naturally, there are also plenty of trend-led options that will impress those up to speed with 2025’s fashion shifts – but I’ve tried to err on the side of timeless (with the exception of one kooky bag charm!) with my curation of leather accessories gifts for Christmas 2025.
As ever, I have strived to select items from brands that prioritise leather traceability, source from Leather Working Group-certified tanneries and offer a transparent approach with raw materials in general. Scroll on to see my edit:
The Horse Mini Clementine Bag, £173.69
The Horse is a chic Sydney-based brand making waves in the affordable luxury space. Clementine is its hero bag, with slouchy, soft curves reminiscent of the Loewe Puzzle. Made using only gold-certified LWG leathers.
Maje Miss M Cardholder, £129
There aren’t many high street labels that are actively investing in traceable initiatives, so we’re impressed with the efforts of Maje Paris – the French fashion label that is working towards full transparency. This sweet card holder is part of its traceable collection, made using leather from an LWG-certified tannery.
Dehanche Constance Belt, £225
Your stylish sister/friend/daughter will love this cult-yet-classic belt, perfect for pairing with jeans.
Jelsi Black ATP Atelier Leather Passport holder, £150
Chic and sleek, this passport holder features ATP Atelier’s if-you-know-you-know ‘swoosh’ detail – a signature of the fashion insider-loved indie brand. Made using only LWG certified, vegetable tanned leather.
Mulberry Heritage Wash Case, £245
Speaking of smart travel companions, this Mulberry wash bag is a forever staple – made in the British brand’s sturdy grained calf leather with classic piped details. I can personally vouch for its roominess and waterproof lining, too. Mulberry sources its leathers from a gold-certified LWG tannery in Italy.
SESSÙN Mauro Leather Gloves, £165
LWG member SESSÙN is another brand that has caught my attention this year. These supple lambskin gloves double up on cosy and chic – in a trendy-yet-timeless forest green shade.
There are baseball caps, and then there are baseball caps. If you’ve got a hat lover on your gifting list, this luxe suede number will undoubtedly update their collection – top marks for its flattering, structured fit and classic navy or chocolate colour way options.
Anya Hindmarch Leather Bag Charm, £175
Bag charms are still having something of a moment – yet have the ability to hold enduring appeal to the wearer, since each can be so unique. Anya Hindmarch was one of the very first in the game with her quirky leather creations, depicting everything from Duracell batteries to Stabilo highlighter pens – though this adorable Heinz ketchup sachet has my heart.
