Luxury Christmas Gifts for Girlfriend

Von Baer Gifts for Her. Full-Grain Leather Across Every Piece.

Every piece in this collection is made from full-grain leather: the top grade of the hide, exceptionally durable, and it wears with quiet distinction for years rather than cracking the way cheaper grades do.

• Full-grain leather from A-grade hides, cut from the bend so it lasts: the bend is the back and butt of the hide, where the fibers are densest and tightest. We select A-grade hides only from Bos Taurus cattle, chosen for their tight, fine, consistent grain. We drum-dye the leather, so the color runs all the way through it: if it's ever scuffed, the leather underneath is the same shade, not the pale mark surface-dyed leather shows.
• Backed by our 5-Year Limited Warranty: We stand behind every piece for five years against defects in materials or workmanship, because each one is made to be carried for decades.
• Personalizable with her initials on almost every piece: her initials are embossed by hand before it ships, complimentary, on the leather itself or, on most bags, on the included leather luggage tag. You choose the letters on the product page when you order.
• Gift packaging and duties included: wallets and other smaller pieces arrive wrapped in tissue in our gift box and gift bag, and bags come in a soft cotton dust bag. Import duties and taxes are included for the US, Canada, the UK, the EU and 16 other countries, so there is nothing extra to pay at delivery. All orders ship by express courier.

Von Baer Christmas Gifts. From Small Daily Pieces to Weekend Travel.

Below are eight of these gifts, from the piece she slips in a coat pocket to the pieces she packs for a weekend away.

• A first real leather gift at an entry price: our Minimalist Leather Card Holder weighs 1 oz and is just 0.24 in thick. It carries up to 8 cards and folded bills, with RFID blocking (a shielding layer in the lining that helps protect contactless cards from wireless scanning) as standard. When she heads out for dinner with just her phone, cards and keys, this is the piece that fits a coat pocket. We can blind-emboss her initials before it ships. 4.2 x 3.4 x 0.24 in (10.7 x 8.6 x 0.6 cm), 1 oz (27 g).
• Her everyday wallet, upgraded: the Allure Leather Purse is an accordion-style wallet (a wallet that fans open so every slot is visible at once) with room for up to 16 cards, two cash compartments, a zipped coin pocket and an internal compartment that fits most phones. At the register, her cards and phone are in one place. It has RFID blocking built in, too. We handcraft it and gold-emboss her initials before it ships. 7.6 x 3.9 x 1.2 in (19.2 x 9.8 x 3 cm), 7.1 oz (200 g).
• A leather handbag for every day: our Estelle Small Leather Tote Bag is a structured tote with a detachable strap that switches from shoulder to crossbody when she needs both hands free. The top zip keeps contents secure and the protective metal feet keep the base off the ground when she sets it down in a cafe. It holds enough for a morning out or a day in the city, not a full commuter load. 36 x 23.5 x 13 cm (14.17 x 9.25 x 5.12 in), approx. 915 g (2.0 lbs).
• For the professional who carries a laptop: our Elegance Leather Tote Bag fits a laptop up to 16 inches in a padded sleeve, with organizer pockets and pen slots. We designed it as a tote first: she sets it beside her desk in the morning and all anyone sees is a handbag. The leather straps carry it on the shoulder or in her hand. 45 x 29 x 13 cm (17.72 x 11.42 x 5.12 in), approx. 1 kg (2.2 lbs).
• For the girlfriend who travels: the Avia Leather Passport Holder has a grosgrain page marker (a slim ribbed ribbon that marks her page). RFID blocking is built in. It matches our card holders, purses and bags, so you can build a travel set piece by piece. We can add her initials in gold foil before it ships. 3.9 x 5.5 x 0.3 in (10 x 14 x 0.8 cm), 2.1 oz (60 g).
• The weekend-trip gift: we designed our Weekender Women's Leather Weekend Bag to hold everything a short trip needs. It fits a weekend of packing and a 16-inch laptop, all carry-on compliant, so a weekend away needs one bag, not a case plus a tote. The reinforced leather handles hold a full load and the protective metal feet keep the base off the platform. We handcraft it, and between trips it doubles as a gym bag. 55 x 30 x 23.5 cm (21.65 x 11.81 x 9.25 in), 2.2 kg (4.9 lb).
• A leather toiletry bag for travel: the Superior Women's Leather Toiletry Bag is the only dedicated toiletry bag in this collection. A dual-compartment design and an internal zipped pocket keep her essentials organized. The lining is water-repellent, and the leather strap handles sit on both ends, so it is easy to carry. 23 x 13 x 8 cm (9.06 x 5.11 x 3.15 in), 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs).
• For the glasses- or sunglasses-wearer: the Deluxe Leather Glasses Case has a microfiber-lined interior that protects lenses from the keys, coins and wallet already in her handbag. A secure snap-button closure keeps it shut. It is slim enough to stay in her purse without taking up room. Arrives in a gift box and bag. 16 x 5 x 4 cm (6.3 x 1.97 x 1.57 in), approx. 100 g (3.5 oz).
