Attention lovers! MIU MIU introduces a capsule collection especially for Valentine’s Day. The offering draws on the playful juxtaposition of different worlds.
Cherries are the recurrent sweetly romantic motif of this quintessentially feminine collection, always coming, like lovers, in sparkling pairs and nestling on vivid green crystal leaves.
Jewelled hearts also make an appearance and an exclusive logo – MIU MIU Loves – is applied to the madras leather styles.
Purses suspended from palladium hardware, wallets, card holders, key chains and bag trinkets all feature in the colors of passion – black, ruby red and sugar pink – often with contrasting linings. Materials include madras and nappa leather with signature “cloqué” workmanship. Characteristically irreverent details finish each piece, among them more cherries, hearts and lettering in polished silver or brightest red enamel.
Anybody looking for a Valentine’s Day surprise? This collection is so beautiful!

A piece of art: Gucci‘s Floral Knight Bamboo Shopper is definitely on my wish list. As I am already a huge fan of this line (check out this previous post here), I couldn’t have been more excited about this new printed version. Perfect for the next season.
Overly cute: these Mini Bamboo Shoppers are made from supple textured-leather and finished with a detachable strap. It’s the perfect size for your cell, makeup essentials and wallet.
Did you know that Gucci’s iconic bamboo handles were originally created in 1947 using a patented method to heat and bend them into shape. (If you are interested, I would like to invite you to have a look at a previous post about my visit to the Gucci manufacture in Casellina, Italy).
Love at first sight: sophisticated style with a retro edge, the Bamboo Sac Backpack
makes a defiant comeback. Available in many different colors, its spacious drawstring style has plenty of room for your essentials. Really one is spoilt for choice, which color is your favorite?
Ultimate luxury: a wallet in crocodile leather. The perfect gift for the distinguished connoisseur.
Those studded heels make every fashion lover’s heart leap with joy. Play with colors to elevate your outfit to the next level.
Dear Santa, please be good to me, all I want for Christmas is Gucci…

Chanel small leather goods are enjoying a new design with the Palette line, a collection of wallets, a coin purse, card holders, key holders, make-up bags, an iPhone case and an iPad clutch.
True to Chanel’s signature aesthetic, all pieces are covered in aged calfskin, the legacy of the iconic 2.55 bag, distinguished here by flat lozenge quilting. Available in metallic gold or silver tones with pastel-toned linings in white, dusty pink, grey and beige.
This generous range of sixteen pieces – each one as practical as it is desirable – will be available in Chanel boutiques from late September 2011.
