Who better than a man to put together a 100% masculine shopping list? We asked Charly Brunet and his keen eye to spot the latest gems and bring them to you.
And if you want to treat your lady, here are our ideas for jewelry to give for Valentine's Day.
1. L’Orbe Vodka
Since bars and restaurants will be closed, opt for the 2-in-1 Vodka and Caviar by L’Orbe. Thanks to a unique process, the vodka is infused with the caviar it contains. A rather original idea to accompany this Valentine's Day in complete intimacy.
price: €135 at La Maison du Whisky
2. Les Parapluies de Cherbourg x Belleville Manufacture
In the arsenal of the perfect gentleman, there is an accessory far too often overlooked: the umbrella! To remedy this, we are falling for the collaboration between the legendary Parapluies de Cherbourg and Belleville Manufacture. The result: an extraordinary umbrella, 100% Made in France, and made with fabric from the oldest textile factory in the world.
price: €250 on order
3. BA111OD
From now on, an automatic watch no longer means an overpriced item. Thanks to an innovative concept, BA111OD offers a new way to promote, but above all, to acquire timepieces of a new kind. To find out more, you have to visit the brand's website. Personally, my preference goes to this model, the Chapitre 1.4
price: around €350 (excluding tax)
4. Jaeger-Lecoultre
For watch lovers, Jaeger-Lecoultre is an essential brand. One model in particular makes its reputation: Reverso. And it is precisely this one that is celebrated through a unique work, signed by Assouline, the cream of collectible book publishers. It took no less than 200 pages and 150 illustrations to elevate this iconic unisex model to new heights.
price: €195, ISBN code: 9781614289555
5. Pinel & Pinel
To stay on the theme of watches, I could have presented you with the winders from the Pinel & Pinel house, but I decided to be bold and chose a cardholder. As simple as it is essential, a cardholder is used daily, and prevents its trouser pockets from becoming stretched out. The different colors will match your partner's outfits, and occasionally, your leather goods collection, if possible Pinel & Pinel, while we're at it....
price: €250, model POP 5 C
6. Santa Cruz
Many of us fall for the famous Maneki-Neko, that famous lucky cat that wags its paw when its owner remembers to change the batteries... This time, it's going everywhere, and adapting to the streetwear style thanks to Santa Cruz, which has just released a collection of t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring it. It's cool, it's simple, in short, it's everything we love.
price: €30 to 60
7. Mr Marvis
Now that working from home has become a must, working in pajamas is not very productive. And that is exactly when Mr Marvis and his new "The Easies" range come in. Comfortable sweatpants, just as smart as they are casual. Or how sex appeal is still there, after so many months of lockdown. You have the image? It's a winner!
price: €99
8. Dji Mini 2
If I said "adult toy" it would be a bit derogatory, because this Dji Mini 2 is nothing like a toy, but rather a concentrate of technology. It can be handled in a few minutes. Then, all you have to do is enjoy it, in a non-regulated area to avoid having problems... Once the flight session is done, uploading your video directly to the app is a breeze, in 3 clicks. All that will remain is to publish it on social media to show off. A great way to discover what surrounds us, and to keep unforgettable memories in 4K!
price: €459 (but I advise you to take the Fly More Bundle directly for €599)
9. Lafuma
Who hasn't had a Lafuma sports bag in their youth? Years pass and the brand continues to produce pieces that are just as technical, and all equally acclaimed. This time, we are falling for this urban backpack to go on a stylish getaway!
price: €60
10. Ruinart Seconde Peau
This is clearly my favorite of recent months. Or how the oldest champagne house is breaking the game of eco-friendly packaging options. "Seconde Peau" protects from light and resists water for many hours. Inside, we find a great classic: Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, a marvel. Should I say more? Believe me, this confined Valentine's Day will not have the same flavor thanks to this divine beverage.
price: €70
11. Lovebox®
What if the modern and connected version of the classic love letter was this little wooden box? Thanks to the dedicated app, it is possible to send photos, texts, drawings or emojis to your loved one, at the other end of the apartment or the other end of the world. Many options allow you to personalize the Lovebox to make it a unique gift.
price: from €99.99
12. Le Bonheur
A little indulgence to punctuate this Valentine's Day. And what's more, the chocolate shop is called "Le Bonheur". It's all said and done, isn't it? These "rock" style chocolates are crazy! Among the bestsellers sesame-sea salt-dark chocolate or coconut-milk chocolate. In this message box, you can thus choose the 9 flavors that compose it.
price: €34
13. Diemme x Gant
The monopoly of beautiful shoes is not reserved for women. Men also have the right to have beautiful shoes. And it is more than recommended, by the way. To contribute to this, this collab between Diemme and Gant is great. Diemme is an Italian shoemaker. Gant is a ready-to-wear brand with a neo-preppy option. The meeting of these two protagonists gives birth to a pair of shoes offered in 3 colors. Once on your feet, it's like walking on clouds.
price: €399
14. PSG
What if you gave the first honey harvest in the history of the Parc des Princes? 150 kilos of nectar were harvested to make 300 boxes of two 250-gram pots. The best part? 100% of the profits go to the most disadvantaged families.
price: €39.99 - exclusively in Paris Saint-Germain stores
15. Eastpak x Mastermind Japan
When one of the most coveted brands in Japanese Streetwear collaborates with Eastpak, it gives a collection of luggage to look even more badass on a daily basis. The tone-on-tone logos assert the premium side of this exclusive collaboration. Now that we have the luggage, where are we going?
price: from €60 to €185
