Brand Loyalty: An All-LVMH Luxury Gift Guide

As the world’s largest and most valuable luxury group in the world, LVMH – which we all know as the owner of Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Zenith, TAG Heuer, and Hublot, to name a few – isn’t only about superb timepiece brands.

Do you want to give someone a watch? A piece from Daniel Roth is guaranteed to blow everyone away. How about the more traditional holiday gift of wine and spirits? Well, I mean, Moët-Hennessy is in the acronym, so there is no problem there. Perfume and cosmetics? Will over a dozen brands provide you with an ample enough selection?

Obviously, there are plenty of fashion and leather good options to choose from, but what about retail? Did you know Sephora is in the LVMH stable? Oh! And have we mentioned the luxury hospitality brand Belmond? Because LVMH owns that too.

Indeed, with 75 Maisons spread across six luxury sectors under the LVMH umbrella, you might never run out of gift ideas for the special people on your list. Fortunately for you, dear reader, we’ve narrowed down your options to a handful of gift ideas for you to consider.

The name Daniel Roth is near and dear to the hearts of timepiece aficionados and collectors. While LVMH acquired the brand when it acquired Bulgari in 2011, the group is playing its connection to the Daniel Roth brand close to vest (it isn’t officially listed on the LVMH corporate website, and as a standalone entity under the group’s La Fabrique du Temps workshop, the “revival” of the brand didn’t begin until 2023).
 

Still, the inspiration and dedication to tradition and complexity from the eponymous watchmaker is in full, gorgeous evidence in that revival. The announcement of the Daniel Roth Tourbillon Rose Gold during Geneva Watch Days at the end of the summer is a sophomore revival effort after the very selective limited Tourbillon Souscription timepiece.
 

The problem with gifting it is, well, getting it. The initial subscription product – the yellow gold Tourbillon Souscription – was limited to 20 examples, and all have been delivered. This latest piece, the Tourbillon Souscription in rose gold, is estimated to cost between CHF 140,000 to CHF 155,000 and starts its limited edition run of twenty pieces at number 21.
 

Unfortunately, that means availability might be an issue by the time you read this because the company has stated that only fifty Daniel Roth Tourbillons, of any stripe, will be produced each year…maximum.

If the brand name rings a bell, that is because the fabulousness of Loro Piana and its fine Italian wools was recently covered by my colleague Rhonda Riche in another holiday gift guide. That is because, for gifts, Loro Piana’s uncannily soft cashmere is the name of the game.

What could be a better present for wintry weather than an ultra-long baby cashmere beige-y pink, burgundy, or bold red Vallé Scarf ($1,600) for her or a natural, biscuit, croissant, or navy blue Rib Stitch LP Scarf ($675) for him? Your intended recipients (and their necks) will thank you.
 

Since its founding in Milan in 1916, Acqua di Parma has held a cult status in fragrance and cosmetic products; if you know, you know. However, since LVMH acquired the brand in 2003, the entire world is now getting in on the secret.

That is why we recommend the classic men’s scent, Colonia Eau de Cologne, with its blend of radiant lemon, Calabrian bergamot, and orange scents. It will give your loved one a head start on smelling more timelessly elegant.
 

The London-based Belmond Ltd. holds one of the hospitality industry’s most enviable lists of outstanding luxury properties and experiences without making a big deal about it.

Offerings range from decidedly legacy legends like the ‘21’ Club restaurant in New York City to famous rail experiences, like the classic Orient Express, and even a few safari lodges that practically define the word “glamping.” Still, despite all that luxury and legacy, their hotel and resort properties are second to none (even to the group’s other holdings).

The exquisite Cap Juluca, a Belmond Hotel on the stylish Caribbean island of Anguilla, is one resort we can personally vouch for. White-washed Moorish architecture meets one of the Caribbean’s most immaculate beaches for a luxury getaway no lucky gift recipient will ever forget.
