Christmas is the time for gifts, a way to show people how much we care and to treat ourselves. But here too, we no longer consume like we did yesterday. The end of November is now marked by Black Friday, and it was a choice of Beau Gustave not to have a special promotion on this date, because there are other ways to consume and to please our loved ones and the planet. Luxury second-hand is a way to reduce our impact on the planet while also pleasing others with high-quality, sustainable products. And buying for a man in your life and being sure to please him isn't always easy, so here is Beau Gustave's selection to help you!
Our offbeat recommendation: Homewear
The Bathrobe
With the rise of teleworking and the drop in temperatures at home, or simply a desire to change your style at home, it's time to return to this must-have from the 50s/60s: the dressing gown, also known as the bathrobe . Homewear , and more specifically the bathrobe, is gradually becoming a fashionable and comfortable item for men and women.
At Le Beau Gustave, silk is in the spotlight, but also wool, velvet for colder situations and a few pieces in synthetic materials which have been selected thanks to their magnificent patterns.
The Pajamas
In the Beau Gustave homewear selection, you can also find cotton or silk pajamas . For Beau Gustave, pajamas are a must-have in every man's closet, whether for a total look for staying home and working from home or for a mix-and-match look.
The top can be worn as a shirt in the summer, with classic trousers that immediately add an elegant touch to the outfit without being too complicated. The trousers can also be worn for more relaxed days, such as on vacation or a day trip.
For homewear as for everything else, at Le Beau Gustave, the pieces are in mint to excellent condition, dry-cleaned for a purchase that is as safe as it is high-quality.
Our selection of homewear includes big names like Hermès and Christian Dior, as well as specialists known for the quality of their products, such as Derek Rose and Grigio Perla.
The great Christmas classics
The tie
A tie is a must-have accessory in a man's wardrobe and adds a touch of elegance to an outfit. There are many more nuances to a tie than you might think, such as the pattern, colors, designs, stitch width, length, fabric used, etc. It's the perfect gift for your sartorial friend, but also for someone exploring their fashion side.
Currently, LBG offers more than 200 ties , in perfect condition (sometimes new), all signed by big names in this sector such as Hermès, Dior, Atelier della Cravatta, Brioni, Kiton to name the most classic or more modern ones such as Gucci, Valentino, Lanvin, Fendi, Giorgio Armani,... Some ties are sold with their original box!
Not far from the tie , there is the Ascott, a pretty piece of silk by Hermès, to be considered as a scarf. It only asks to leave the tradition of the English racetracks where it was born to twist a casual jacket or a windbreaker.
Cufflinks
Cufflinks are also essential in a man's wardrobe. A fairly safe way to offer a piece of jewelry without taking any risks. Modern and understated with a nice selection from Lanvin, or more vintage, some from Céline with its iconic triomphe motif or Dior, it's as much a pleasure for the giver as for the recipient to make their choice.
The scarf
Another must-have and a sure bet when it comes to giving a gift is the scarf ! It's even better if it's cashmere to keep you warm and goes perfectly with all winter outfits! With Beau Gustave, you can offer Lanvin scarves with the light blue packages signed Lanvin, which will always make an impact at the foot of the tree! A Burberry cashmere tartan scarf is also a sure bet and will always please! All scarves are selected with great care, whether it's the pattern or in perfect condition, to make luxury second-hand gifts without the hassle.
The belt & buckles
Everyone loves a beautiful luxury belt. It's a timeless piece, usable in many outfits and, like a scarf, you don't take too much risk if you're not completely sure of the style of the person you're giving it to. At Beau Gustave, you can find Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Brioni, ... When we talk about belts, there's the essential Hermès! Hermès is known for its belts but also its magnificent buckles, interchangeable if you have different leathers. The quality of these houses is no longer proven and adapts to all outfits!
Leather goods
It's hard not to mention the small leather goods: Dior card holders, Dior & Givenchy wallets and new Hermès notebooks, but also computer bags, etc.
What is certain is that when it comes to men's gifts, Le Beau Gustave is here to help you choose the best in luxury second-hand goods!
The gift voucher
To reassure those who are hesitant, we also offer gift certificates. You drop by the store to deposit the funds, and we'll issue a receipt for you and a gift card for the lucky recipient. The card can also be sent by email instead of the paper format, so you can be sure not to lose it!
Here's the handsome Gustave's selection to help you choose the right gift for the men in your life. Christmas can allow men to explore gifts they wouldn't necessarily think to buy themselves, whether it's style or brand. And perhaps the bathrobe under the tree is the unexpected gift that will warm him up during this 19°C winter.
