Even without a date, one can always dress up on Valentine’s Day with an ensemble of accessories to make an amorous fashion statement.
Designs allow you to wear your heart on your sleeve, whether that is through jewellery, watches or leatherwear that playfully send messages of love.
Reinventions of heart-shaped jewellery are released this month. If not the real deal with dazzling diamonds or precious stones, then glam up with sparkling crystals from Swarovski’s Valentine collection or Pandora’s Petals of Love series with the jewellery parts in sterling silver and cubic zirconia.
Marking the most romantic day of the year, Swiss watch brand Blancpain redesigned its 60-year-old Ladybird model in a white gold case with the dial featuring a mother-of-pearl marquetry heart adorned with diamonds and rubies.
At 6 o’clock, a ruby heart pierced by a diamond arrow, with this removable charm symbolising love at first sight. Beating at the heart of this two-hand timepiece is a 15.7mm-diameter self-winding movement: one of the smallest in the world.
Coccinelle’s iconic B14 bag boasts an eye-catching heart that frames the triangular closure. The bag and its mini version is enhanced by a leather ribbon on which is printed “Feel good with you”.
Longchamp’s Le Pliage provides more romantic messages while allowing you to tick with a red pin to exactly express how you feel, such as “Be Mine” and “Je crois que je t’aime” meaning “I think I love you”. Besides the seven messages, the love bag in tender pink has an embroidered “XOXO” on the back.
Without the hugs, kisses appear on Roger Vivier’s ballerina flats inspired by 1970s white sandals with bright red lips motif. Matched with a boxy clutch of the same design, the new flirty flats may well walk their lonely wearers into a little romance.
