There’s gifting — and then there’s giving style. In a season synonymous with glittering baubles and overzealous knitwear, the truly discerning know that the most memorable presents aren’t loud or gimmicky. They’re thoughtful, tactile, and quietly transformative. This year, look to Emma Wallace, the Hong Kong–born label whose petite production runs and handcrafted precision deliver something increasingly rare: garments with soul. From architectural dresses to silk sets that turn sleep into a ritual, here is the definitive Emma Wallace gift guide for the sartorially fluent women in your life.
For the Stylish Snoozer: Hilary Shorty Set
There is loungewear, and then there is the Hilary Set (HK$1,800) — the kind of sleepwear that could moonlight as a decadent lounge ensemble on a holiday morning. Cut from fluid silk satin, the shirt drapes with a relaxed, almost liquid ease, while the tailored shorts — complete with subtle piping — offer structure without sacrificing softness. The matching silk eye mask feels like the final, almost theatrical touch: a signal that slumber is not a pause but a performance in self-care. This gift is perfect for the woman who believes that beauty routines don’t stop at the vanity. She favours noble fabrics, treasures quiet luxury, and would never be caught wearing an old T-shirt to bed. For her, bedtime is a sanctuary — and dressing for it is half the pleasure.
For the Party Belle: Wav Dress in Pink
The Wav Dress (HK$1,880) is the sort of piece that elicits a soft gasp when it appears — a cocktail dress reimagined as wearable architecture. Its blush-pink hue is neither saccharine nor shy; instead, it radiates a beautifully restrained femininity. The layered, sculptural A-line skirt creates movement with every step, while the fitted bodice flatters with precision, offering both structure and ease. This is a dress for the woman who treats the festive season like her personal runway. She arrives at soirées not merely to attend but to ignite them. With the Wav Dress, she doesn’t just enter the room — she defines it.
For the Colour Confidante: Laurie Mac
There are people who wear colour, and there are those who command it. Laurie Mac (HK$4,200; available in light blue, red and dark green) speaks directly to the latter. This piece — bold, saturated, and unapologetically expressive — sits at the intersection of joy and sophistication. The voluminous sleeves and sharp silhouette evoke a sense of vintage glamour, while the modern cut keeps it firmly rooted in the now. This is a coat for the woman who has never used the word “neutral” to describe her personality. Her fashion philosophy centres on energy: bold tones, decisive shapes, a refusal to shrink into the background. When she walks into a room, conversations shift, eyes follow, and the mood inevitably lifts.
For the Modern Minimalist: Teri Jacket
The Teri Jacket (HK$2,600) is minimalism at its most nuanced. At first glance, it’s clean, cropped, and quietly contemporary — but look closer and its details reveal themselves like whispered confidences. The gently exaggerated sleeves add a sculptural note without overwhelming the silhouette, while the crisp tailoring keeps things grounded. Lightweight and refined, it’s the kind of piece that slips effortlessly between seasons and stylistic moods. This gift suits the woman who finds power in restraint. She loves a good silhouette, prizes versatility, and gravitates toward pieces that feel intentional rather than decorative. Her wardrobe is a study in modern architecture — all lines, balance, and considered proportions — and the Teri Jacket slots into it like a finishing stroke.
