Fashion pieces make fab gifts – they’re practical, stylish, and every fashion maven will surely appreciate a new piece to add to their collection. But it’s not always the easiest type of gift to get.
Rather than throwing your hands up in defeat, try pairing your giftee’s personality to the gift. We’ve rounded up 5 stylish gifts from Charles & Keith, based on the style personalities of your giftee, whether they spend Saturday nights at Zouk or pursue the minimalist trend.
Embrace your inner child.

You’ve probably seen the infamous pigeon clutch bag on red carpets or in TikTok videos. Whether you love it or hate it, we can’t deny the main character vibes it gives off. For those who’d like to dip their toes in the trend, the Lotso Chain Furry Bag in Fuchsia ($125) is a great way to start.
Part of the Charles & Keith Pixar collection, this mini shoulder bag is all things pink and plushy. Really, it’s like bringing your favourite stuffed toy out for a shopping spree or weekend gathering. Besides its functionality, it also makes for a great conversation starter at parties. Plus, it’s always nice to have a friendly furry face around.
You can also get the platforms with little flower motifs.

We assure you, this will defo make anyone stand out in a crowd.

For a more toned-down version, get the Lucile Satin Platform Sandals in Black ($79.90). This open-toed ensemble is unlike your typical strappy heel, as it’s made out of a shiny satin that’ll make your feet pop. Pair it with a mini dress and you’ll be ready to party the night away.
Add a pop of colour to an all black outfit with the classic Gabine Saddle Bag ($79.90) in Burgundy.

Think of Singapore and our sunny weather will come to mind. Sunglasses are not only a fashion staple, they’re also quite literally a must-have to shield your eyes from the blazing sun.

Complete the ensemble with some arm candy like the chunky Crystal & Pearl Embellished Chain-Link Bracelet in Nude ($39.90), or the Gemma Quilted Cardholder in White ($33.90) that’s great for quick supermarket runs where you don’t need to carry a whole bag. These items also have a wallet-friendly price tag, so don’t worry about busting your budget.

For those self-proclaimed minimalists, we’ll say go for something timeless and simple – such as the Moira Braided Handle Pouch in Black ($59.90). The bag boasts vintage-inspired gold hardware, and a twist for the handle. Don’t be quick to dismiss its miniature figure as it holds all your essentials in one place.
Because the bag is monocoloured with dainty hardware, it’s easy to incorporate this into any wardrobe. Pair your LBB – little black bag – with an LBD and you’re good to go.
You don’t have to keep up with the latest drops or runway trends to be a top-tier gift giver. Sometimes, all it takes is being a good friend and channelling their personalities into the gift. Oh, and browsing Charles & Keith.
