Getting the best Mother’s Day gifts is a challenging feat. The key here is to splurge and spoil them. A sumptuous dinner is, without missing a beat, the way to their heart. For the fashion moms—our first fashion icon, really—surprising them with a fashion piece either as timeless as a well-storied and delicate silk scarf from Gucci or a pair of mules from the Balenciaga and Scholl’s collaboration for the avant garde ladies, would make their day greatly. Keep reading to see our picks for the best Mother’s Day gifts in 2025 for high-fashion mums.
Don’t forget to also celebrate the mother figures in our lives! To make their lives easier and smooth-running, the assortment also includes functional and practical offerings such as a tote bag from Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2025 that holds everything—documents, makeup essentials, wipes or even an emergency stash of snacks. As for those who would spend their summer island hopping and collecting new stamps in the passport, the sophisticated sunglasses—designed with the remarkable So Kate heels in mind—from Christian Louboutin will be the best travel companion one could ever ask for.
Ralph Lauren
Moms love commodious bags, especially working mothers. Striding across the city for their day jobs, a sizeable bag—that is not ostentatiously huge—like this Ralph Calfskin Tote is a real lifesaver. Unlike most tote bags with a plain exterior, this Ralph Lauren stood out with details inspired by vintage car interior designs crafted with Italian precision. Debuted on the Spring 2025 runway, the bag features hand-carved burl wood-and-metal top handles, added with a detachable shoulder strap. Complementing the buttery saddle calfskin leather, the inner of the bag is lined with suede, equipped with—behold—a removable canvas pouch. Either for additional storage or organisation sake, a pouch in the bag comes in really handy for multitaskers, a.k.a. mothers.
Longchamp
If you know a mother who would make the effort to travel to small towns in the South of France to get her hands on a polished pair of leather shoes, we know the exact gift she would appreciate. Collaborating with K. Jacques, the artisan hailing from Saint-Tropez, this laced-up sandal from Longchamp is one to keep. Made with Russian leather, the sandals encapsulated the craftsmanship of two houses. Available in a sun-kissed palette from kiwi green to coral pink, these sandals are also apt for the most recent revival of the Boho style, especially when paired with a tiered dress or a sheer top with ruffles.
Gucci
Silk scarves accessorise a look, or even an understated fashion statement if you wear them as a top. Our balmy climate makes staying fashionable more challenging—layering is often impossible—but a silk scarf is easily one of the best styling hacks for us. These pieces from Gucci’s latest art-fueled 90×90 project, as seen on Julia Garner in the recent “Keep It Gucci: The Art of Silk” campaign, are art pieces that would elevate a look instantly.
Mastering the art of silk craftsmanship since the 1950s, the designs evolve around themes the House is renowned for, from florals to nautical, and equestrian to the iconic GG monogram, there’s something for every occasion, making it an ideal choice for the mother figures in our lives.
Burberry
It’s May and we can hear the summer holidays calling from the beachside. What’s better than getting our mothers a good crochet bag that blends seamlessly into their next destination, whether a picturesque coastal town in Italy or Cyprus for a beach trip or a farmer’s market stroll? Thanks to their lightweight and open weave patterns, crochet bags are a timeless aestival piece—a reason why they appear on the runways nearly every season. Made in Italy, the bags from Burberry are part of its High Summer 2025 collection. Available in various sizes and shapes, these crochet bags are decorated with the symbolic Equestrian Knight Design in contrasting colours.
As for mothers who prefer structured bags, the shoulder bag made with linen cotton canvas is a surefire bet. The jacquard-woven bags come with a contrasting stripe, are the ultimate quiet luxury accessory to a summer outfit.
Balenciaga x Scholl
Comfortable heels sound heavenly, but we all know it is a tedious quest. The story often ends with us turning to orthopaedic footwear like Scholl’s, for comfort’s sake. These pairs from Balenciaga’s recent collaboration with Scholl, however, tick all the boxes. Merging Scholl’s scientifically-backed innovation with the “ugly shoes” concept that Balenciaga excels in, the pairs feature cork footbeds—a Scholl’s trait, added with calfskin leather straps for the reimaged 1956 Pescura sandal, and perforated leather for the mules. Orthopaedic heels for cool moms? Sounds like a plan.
Sandro
This is for the modern and contemporary art lovers: a Sandro and Louise Bourgeois capsule collaboration. Nothing like celebrating womanhood with covetable pieces that highlight an illustrious woman artist, whose work redefines femininity. Widely known for her gigantic sculpture “Maman” (1999), Bourgeois had a career spanning eight decades and an influential impact on how art portrays women and mothers.
Weaving webs with the ready-to-wear pieces, the capsule collection is inspired by the recurring motif in Bourgeois’s works, the Spirale. Featuring summer silhouettes such as keyhole dress, silk tops or asymmetrical draped skirt, the offerings are available in two colourways, sky blue and black.
Versace
Bags are like the last piece of the puzzle to one’s outfit, and for mothers who appreciate a pop of colours, these Versace literal arm candies are irresistible. In the shape of an east-west bowler, the Tag Bowling Shoulder Bag returns in the candy-like shade of sea green as part of the La Vacanza 2025 collection. It’s a known fact that the soft nappa bag is the canvas for bag charms, but what really caught our attention was the silhouette of the bag. With a shape that is slightly rommier than the baguette cousins yet more delicate than your classic bowling bag, the Tag Bowling Shoulder Bag flaunts a stretched-out silhouette that sits comfortably between too dressy and too carefree, making it a good daily bag for women of all ages.
Christian Louboutin
The Christian Louboutin’s red soles are iconic, but what if we told you they also come in the form of eyewear? With a frame that mimics the shape of red soles, the So Kate LB0003 is a blend of sophistication and contemporary style, like its footwear counterpart. While the Art Deco-inspired frame front resembles the architectural lines on landmarks, the temples are also embellished with the palmette pattern. The hinges, on the other hand, are adorned with red accents that take the shape of the emblematic red bottoms. Not only is this pair from Christian Louboutin a style accessory, but it is also a piece that encapsulates the essence of this heritage French house.
Celine
A short getaway sounds like a perfect gift for mothers who “have everything”. Top the night off with the Triomphe Oval Box bag from Celine—the ideal after-dark aperitif-spritz-session bag, if you ask us. Wrapped with woven wicker, the Celine basket bag is dainty, not the most practical one around, but enough to keep all the essentials for the night. Although the common misconception is “why spend money on a basket bag?”, but if you recall Jane Birkin’s iconic basket bag moment, one will acknowledge that a well-made basket bag is an enduring piece, a good investment even, ever since it became a luxury and stylish travel companion since the 1950s. It’s one of the best gifts for mothers who appreciate style that transcends time.
