A Gift of Elegance and Inspiration

Books capture memories, spark imagination, and offer an escape into new worlds. An Assouline book is not only a sophisticated décor piece but also a lasting tribute to the things your mother loves most—whether that’s fashion, art, travel, or design.

What to Gift Mom This Year

For the mother with an adventurous spirit, explore books on iconic cities, from Paris and Rome to Madrid and London. If she appreciates beauty and style, choose fashion volumes featuring Dior, Chanel, Valentino—and Gucci: The Art of Silk, a celebration of elegance through fabric and design. For moms who cherish time in the kitchen, Le Creuset offers a vibrant journey through culinary tradition. Those who love history and craftsmanship will adore Assouline’s jewelry and watch collections, spotlighting Cartier, Patek Philippe, and Bulgari.
