1. FOREVER BAGS

There’s a lot of ways to say I love you. But saying it with one of the season’s trending bags? That’s fool proof. Alexander McQueen’s hobo bag is a key player, topped with knuckle duster-inspired gothic rings, it packs a real punch. Jacquemus’ Le Bambimou, in a playful green, captures Simone’s fun take on French style. The Saint Laurent Niki Bag comes complete with an easy wearing strap and roomy interior, meaning it’s perfect for the mum that’s always on the go, while Prada’s Galleria Bag delivers the kind of effortless style we’ve all grown up admiring.

2. BEST FOOT FORWARD

If she’s not just a regular mom, but a cool mom, then these chicer-than-chic footwear picks are a good place to start. Miu Miu’s ballet flats, aka, one of the hottest footwear styles du jour, are a failsafe bet. Les Mules Piscine by Jacquemus are a fresh, fun-loving option, while Jil Sander’s Tripon mules were made for the minimalist in your life. And if the object of your gifting is something of a statement maker? Jimmy Choo’s Talura Heels in a punchy shade of purple, ft. a chunky gold chain, are as assertive as the woman you admire.

3. BEAUTY QUEEN

Top of the agenda for Mother’s Day is making sure she feels beautiful inside and out. Gucci Beauty’s Eve Mascara was made for elevating the everyday, while Jimmy Choo’s Seduction Lip Colour makes for an indulgent treat. Want to upgrade her fragrance collection? Opt for Creed’s Aventus For Her. A feminine take on the original Aventus, it’s inspired by history’s most powerful women. Looking for skincare? Clinique’s three-piece set has anti-ageing covered. And for the ultimate touch of luxury? Look to La Mer’s Refreshing Miracle Broth collection.

4. THE FINISHING TOUCH

If you’re angling for that ‘Child of The Year’ award, then one of these is guaranteed to land you first place. Vivienne Westwood’s cult Pearl Choker, embellished with the late designer’s timeless Orb detail, will elevate any outfit. While Marc Jacobs pared-back earrings are a staple piece she’ll wear all year round. When the sun (finally) hits, Bottega Veneta’s sunglasses and the Gucci GG-jacquard bucket hat says cool mom like nothing else.
