CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE 2025

SEASONAL STATEMENTS IN SILK

As winter light stretches across the day and the festive mood begins its gentle unfurling, we’ve gathered some of your favourite Fox & Chave silk,  grouped into ten thoughtful categories for every type of person on your list. Each piece is a small work of art: hand-finished, timeless, and steeped in centuries of creativity. From book lovers to bold colourists, countryside wanderers to royal enthusiasts, there is a Fox & Chave silk that tells their story beautifully.

Let’s begin.

FOR THE TRAVELLER AT HEART

There’s something wonderfully seasonal about this newly available Taj Mahal habotai silk scarf. Its soft reds and delicate florals seem to glow in December light.

Drawn from Mughal design, symmetry, flourishing botanicals and architectural elegance, it's light, glossy and beautifully fluid, and feels festive without trying too hard.

FOR THEATRE DEVOTEES

A thoughtful choice for those who find themselves drawn to the stage, whether attending, teaching or performing. The Shakespeare Love silk scarf is feather-light chiffon, carrying flowers from his plays and touches of romantic verse.

Its companion, the Shakespeare’s Plays silk tie, offers a parade through the bard’s finest works, showcasing Macbeth, Hamlet, Twelfth Night and more.

FOR LITERARY BUFFS

For those who carry stories wherever they go, these silks deliver story, nostalgia and charm.

The Alice Rabbit tie brings a neat repeat of Lewis Carroll's time-sensitive bunny. A perfectly bookish gift for readers, collectors of classics, or anyone with a fondness for curious characters.

The Alice in Wonderland chiffon scarf is dotted with whimsical moments from the tale, little illustrated vignettes that reveal themselves as the silk moves.

FOR THE ROYAL ENTHUSIAST

Dignified, festive and unmistakably British, the Crowns tie in rich Christmas red is a classic.

It is also available in a stately navy, as well as a more delicate small-crown variant offered in subtle cream and regal royal purple, each one a quiet nod to tradition.

A wonderful choice for admirers of British history, collectors of heritage textiles, or anyone with a soft spot for pageantry.

FOR WILLIAM MORRIS FANS

This duo brings together two beloved designs from the Arts & Crafts movement: The Dearle Leicester scarf, full of flowing foliage and John Henry Dearle’s signature botanical detail, and the Golden Lily Green tie, is one of the most iconic Morris patterns from the collection.

Fox & Chave holds a plethora of Morris designs, for both him and her. Perfect for heritage lovers and admirers of British design history.

FOR THE BALLET GOER

Graceful, atmospheric and drenched in blush tones, the Degas Ballerinas chiffon scarf is a wearable Impressionist painting. Crêpe de chine offers a soft matte finish, slightly translucent, allowing the brushstrokes to breathe as it moves.

It’s a piece that always looks beautiful, no matter how it’s tied. Perfect for ballet fans, museum-membership holders or anyone who cherishes delicate, painterly textiles.

FOR THE BRIGHT

& THE BOLD

The Matisse Orange large habotai scarf is vivid, glossy and unmistakably modern, perfect for an artsy day out or a wander around a contemporary gallery.

Alongside it sits the Medieval Alphabet tie, intricate and historical, with ornate letters inspired by illuminated manuscripts.

Different eras, different moods,  yet both beautifully bold. Ideal for those who enjoy wearing pieces with personality.

FOR THE PATTERN LOVER

Two designs that celebrate heritage textiles and global pattern-making traditions:

Indian Blue Floral silk habotai scarf, new this year, with its delicate botanicals and cool blues.

Red & Gold Islamic crêpe de chine silk scarf, a rich, decorative and wonderfully festive with its deep crimson and gilded geometry.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates the artistry in repeat, these scarves start conversations before you’ve even taken your coat off.

FOR WINTER WEEKENDS

Inspired by natural forms and countryside charm, this pairing brings together two quietly distinguished patterns:

The Mackintosh Tulips scarf habotai silk scarf, beautifully wintry and gently romantic with its soft curves and stylised blooms. The Stag Navy silk tie, ideal for the country gent, is  understated, seasonal and suitably rugged in spirit.

Together, they make an excellent duo for those who spend weekends in muddy boots.

FOR THE QUIRKY SOUL

A joyfully eccentric finale. The Louis Wain Cat habotai silk scarf is vibrant, expressive and utterly charming, all electric blues and bright yellow eyes.

Wain’s artwork has fascinated admirers for over a century, and this silk captures that same sense of delightful peculiarity.

Royalties from the design support the Wellcome Collection in London, making it a gift with both personality and purpose.

These silks are just a small glimpse of the hundreds of designs available at foxandchave.com — many created in collaboration with museums, heritage organisations and artist estates. Each piece is hand-finished, timeless and designed to be cherished for years to come.
