60th Birthday Gifts for Her
Sixty is often the birthday where the diary starts to change shape. For many women work is winding down or already done, the children have their own lives and sometimes their own children, and the weeks fill up with the things she always meant to do: the walking holiday, the garden, the long lunch with old friends. A 60th birthday gift from the family should fit that life rather than the one she is leaving behind, and a well-made leather bag she can wear hands-free is one of the few gifts that gets used every day.
The Original is the natural choice here. It is our classic crossbody, 20 x 16 x 8cm, with three compartments so a phone, glasses and keys each have a place and nothing has to be dug for. The strap adjusts to 125cm, so it can be worn long across the body or shorter on the shoulder. If she likes a smarter bag, the Wilmington saddle bag has a rounded shape, a top handle, a magnetic front closure and a back zip pocket. The Lambeth bucket bag is the one for a woman who carries a paperback and a cardigan everywhere, and the Bum Bag is the best companion for a dog walk. Colours are the ones she will wear for years: black, navy, chestnut, maple, slate blue and stone, plus a suede and leather Original in mocha.
Each bag is designed in London, handcrafted in Full-grain Leather, covered by a 365-day warranty and sent with two free straps and a keyring, worth £63. When several of you are chipping in, leather bags here run from £84.95 to £139.95 (the transparent City bag is £49.95), UK delivery is free over £70, and she has 30 days to swap the colour if she would rather. You may also find what you need in our handbags for women over 50, 50th birthday gifts, 70th birthday gifts and gifts for Mum.
