SHINOLA D.C.
WASHINGTON D.C.
Greetings from the bustling historic district of Logan Circle. The Shinola staff in our nation’s capital have some capital ideas for the holiday season. Creature comforts like the Shinola Hotel Robe and our hand-poured candles are favorites in D.C. The Birdy, Derby, and Birdy Belt Bag round out a selection that’s as unique as your wish list.
HAND-POURED CANDLES
DAVID S.
Holiday shopping doesn’t just have to be for others—David S. loves a self-gift moment, too. “The Shinola S.02 Hand Poured Candle gives my home such a warm feeling. It’s the perfect self-care gift. The notes of grass, musk, and rain are so relaxing at the end of the day.”
THE DERBY, 30MM
TIONE M.
Tione M. is wild about Derby’s design: “It’s a modern twist to an old good luck symbol, the horseshoe. With the Derby, it’s easy to go from day to night as the double horseshoe case design adds an elegant touch while the leather strap makes it perfect for an everyday look. Makes a great gift for that stylish special someone.”
SHINOLA HOTEL ROBE
JOHN S.
“I love our Detroit Robe!” Gushes John S. “It’s soft, just the right amount of over-sized and has a hood. As the weather gets colder, I love slipping my robe on and curling up by the fireplace.” John adds that spiked eggnog is optional—but recommended.“I love our Detroit Robe!” Gushes John S. “It’s soft, just the right amount of over-sized and has a hood.

SHINOLA WOODWARD
DETROIT, MI
Tucked next to the Shinola Hotel on Woodward Avenue in the heart of Downtown Detroit, there’s a warm and welcoming enclave of stylish experts waiting to help you check off everyone on your list. In chilly Detroit, top picks included Alpaca Mittens and the cozy striped Alpaca Scarf for staying warm in style.
DETROIT T-SHIRT IN NAVY
LANE C.
“Our Detroit Graphic Tees are soft, the perfect weight, and sewn right here in Detroit,” says Lane C., beaming with Detroit pride. “These tees are the ideal gift for the loved ones on our list who are already yearning for their next Michigan summer!”
ALPACA MITTENS
Lane C.
Shinola employee Ian S. adores the finely crafted Alpaca Mittens. “They
will keep your hands toasty on the coldest winter date, especially while riding your Burton board.” Wise words
for winter gifting.
ALPACA SCARF
JASON B.
Jason B.’s advice? Leave something unexpected under the tree. “The Alpaca Scarf makes a great gift for someone who only associates Shinola with watches and leather goods.” Crafted from not-too-heavy, not-too-light Alpaca wool, Jason knows its softness and comfort first-hand. “It is certain to be a pleasant surprise for the recipient!”
ZIP KEY WALLET
FAITH R.
What makes the burgundy zip wallet the perfect holiday gift? “Its on-the-go nature,” explains Faith R. “Its small size allows it to fit into any sized Shinola bag.” It’s an accessory fit for kings and queens alike. “The color burgundy, meaning royalty and power, will definitely be a show-stopper this holiday season.”

SHINOLA JACKSON SQUARE
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
Loaded with character from Gold Rush-era architecture, Jackson Square is one of the oldest commercial neighborhoods in San Francisco. Nestled on a narrow street that is home to the historic Hotaling Whiskey Warehouse, the Shinola Jackson Square store is as unique as the city it calls home. The coterie of Shinola style experts there gave us the best of West Coast picks for the season.
CANFIELD SPORT 45MM
ARMONDO
Armondo’s thoughtful recommendation for the subtly stylish: “The Canfield Sport 45mm earns its place at the top of any holiday wish list. I love that this watch is muted in color but stands out with what I wear. It’s the perfect accessory that completes my wardrobe.”
SLIM TRAVELER
MARION
Need a great gift for someone on the go? “The Slim Traveler is the perfect size and can hold all your daily necessities,” according to Marion. Even better: “The natural Vachetta leather will patina beautifully with use throughout the day-to-day grind.”
THE DERBY, 30MM
LAUREN
Lauren loves the kick of our latest women’s watch. “The Derby makes for a special and sophisticated gift. The stainless steel strap elevates any outfit. They’ll never want to take it off.”
SHOULDER SNAP BAG
VALERIE
“If you want to give a personalized
gift, the Snap Shoulder Bag is a great option,” recommends Valerie. “The snaps along the strap will allow them to customize the length and it’s just the right size to fit all their necessities. Engrave the brass tag with their initials to make it even more special.”
