back to school or university - luxury gift ideas

for the next step

We have just celebrated the time for graduations, which typically fall at the beginning of the Summer, and it’s a time filled with positivity and uplifting thoughts. This season of rewarding hard work and success is also a chance to look to the future and explore what lies ahead. This is why we have created our list of inspiring 'back to school gifts' for university or first jobs, to spur on the student or young professional in their next steps.

pampeano's leather

What better time than to present your loved one with a gift to acknowledge their achievements and encourage them for the next chapter? With many beautiful, handcrafted leather pieces in our collection, you have the chance to give a gift that is like no other. We use vegetable tanned leather to create our famous polo belts and leather lifestyle pieces. These are dyed using natural materials, often to recipes that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years.

This process of tanning is one that requires meticulous care and skill, and although longer and more involved than any chemical process, produces beautiful results that speak for themselves. Each vegetable tanned piece has a gorgeous, rich hue that will develop a unique patina over time, bearing the marks and colourations that can only come from its individual life with its owner. This is what makes pampeano leather so special.

Popular gifts for the young professional include business card holders, for the career men and women, our leather case for little trinkets and keepsakes, and our leather cufflink box which can hold personal gifts in its suede-lined interior.

a timeless handstitched belt

If you prefer to choose from our iconic polo belt collection, you will have the very special optional extra of personalising your gift, to make it uniquely theirs. A pampeano polo belt is an eye-catching accessory, and can be an excellent way to stand out from the crowd, giving you the confidence to assert yourself in new environments. At your request, we will emboss up to three initials onto the leather belt loop. This is a wonderful way to celebrate the recipient of your gift, and to honour their hard work with a thoughtful touch to your choice of belt.

The start of a university career or a new job is an important and exciting step in someone’s journey, with new beginnings around the corner and the chance to reflect on where they have come from. Make it an occasion to remember with back to school gifts from pampeano.
