It used to be that Liberty prints were for angel haired schoolgirls. Today, everyone from Turner-prize winner Grayson Perry to Barney’s creative director, Simon Doonan, is a fan.

Here in Toronto, designer Andrea Dixon of Pomp and Ceremony fashions the most charming accessories from a mix of vintage and current Liberty fabrics. For the lads there are pochettes and bow ties and for the ladies there are headbands, necklaces and fascinators.

The lavender sachets make perfect stocking stuffers, and these berets will look darling atop a mound of angel hair.

Available at Model Citizen, 279 Augusta Ave., Toronto, 416-553-6632.

If your bloke’s got swagger, there may be a few bow ties hanging in his closet already.

Up the ante on his collection with a stunning York Wu bow tie handmade with couture grade leather, silk or chiffon.

York, an interdisciplinary designer who spends his time between New York and Toronto, told the New York Times style magazine recently that he wants his Noeud Papillon ties to be the equivalent of a Lanvin dress,  “structured and strong on the inside, elegant and effortless on the outside.”

This is one gift you’ll want to steal.
