Vintage Designer Gifts for Dad
Father’s Day is right around the corner, and finding the right gift for the dads in your life can feel impossible! If you’re tired of asking “What do you want for Father’s Day?” and only hearing “Doesn’t matter” or the classic “I don’t know”, we have some ideas that will make the gift hunting process so much easier. We have some incredible pieces in our collection, both new and vintage, that appeal to a more traditionally masculine aesthetic.
Designer for Him:
Trust us when we say that you’d be rather surprised how many big-name designer brands have entire lines of designs tailored to men. Big names like John Hardy, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Gucci and more all have unisex and men’s lines of interesting and unique designs. While a vintage designer bracelet, ring or accessory may not be the first gift that comes to mind, they can be highly personal and show that you pay attention to his personal style more than he might realize. So, without further ado, here’s a small collection of our some of our favorite vintage designer accessories for him.
1. Vintage John Hardy Curb Link Bracelet
This unique sterling silver John Hardy bracelet is a masculine spin on the chunky fashion bracelet combined with the classic curb link that runs through a majority of men’s jewelry designs. We’ll go more in depth about the classic men’s jewelry designs later in our gold jewelry section below. Hefty and easy to wear, the combination of etched designs and high polish links brings forth extra interest to this already exceptional piece. Retails for: $1,100, Our Price: $550*
