Loewe, Basket Bag

A Loewe basket bag is a staple in every wardrobe, and this year the iconic Spanish label is back with a new colorway perfect for spring. A baby blue calfskin leather top strap and embossed anagram patch add a delicate edge to the handwoven bag, with the beloved shape perfect for the beach or the city. The handcrafted nature means each is unique, too.

Saint Laurent, Clutch Bag

Is your mom more of the glam type? Look no further than the Saint Laurent Tuxedo Box Bag. Crafted out of hard plexiglass with an eye-catching glossy finish (our favorite is black but marble-effect beige and gold is a firm second), the bag just begs to be shown off. The iconic YSL logo and gold shoulder chain combine to create an undisputedly luxe finish, while a leather lining and clasp closure add a touch of practicality.

Afternoon Tea at Claridge’s

Ask most moms what their dream Mother’s Day gift would be, and we can all but guarantee the answer would be more time with their children. This year, take quality time to a new level with an afternoon tea at one of London’s glitziest hotels: Claridge’s. The Mother’s Day special includes all the classics: delicate miniature sandwiches; scones with Cornish clotted cream and jam (cream first, always); and handmade pastries. A cup of English tea is a must to wash it all down, but a glass of champagne never goes amiss either – Claridge’s pairs its afternoon tea with Laurent-Perrier.

UGG, Slippers

Although UGGs fell out of favor after their mid-noughties boom, the Australian sheepskin shoes are firmly back on our radar. While the boot version is still a divisive statement (we’re in favor), the house slippers are a universal must-have. A chestnut-colored suede outer lining encases a plush sheepskin interior, with a hard rubber outsole.
