Objects Of Affection: The Valentine's Day Collection From Louis Vuitton

Not to cause any unnecessary alarm, but Valentine’s Day is almost upon us (this Friday, in case you were wondering), which means it’s high time to sort out the right gift for that special someone in your life (and yes, yourself counts too). If you have somehow lost track of the days or been too caught up with the Chinese New Year festivities to think about February 14, don’t panic, Louis Vuitton has you covered. The luxury house has curated a comprehensive gift guide spanning leather goods, jewellery, candles, fragrances, and more, so you’ll have no shortage of choice when it comes to picking out an object of desire for your object of affection. And thanks to complimentary same day and next day delivery services, you can rest assured your gift (or gifts) will arrive on time for the big day.

To mark the occasion, Louis Vuitton has imagined a capsule of small leather goods that will make you believe in love at first sight. Crafted from Monogram Vernis calf leather, the striking designs are hued in gradient shades of metallic pink, red, and blue, layered to form the letter V – for Vuitton as well as Valentine. The standout piece of the capsule has to be the Heart Coin Purse, which does exactly what it says on the tin, with the added bonus of a removable chain and hook that allows it to be worn as a belt or bag charm. The Zippy wallet and coin purse also feature, along with a card holder and a heart-shaped key holder.

Should you be looking for something a bit more sizeable, there are options aplenty from the maison’s renowned range of leather goods. A reinterpretation of a classic silhouette created by Gaston-Louis Vuitton nearly a century ago, the diminutive, dome-shaped Neo Alma BB showcases graceful curves, rounded top handles, a removable shoulder strap, and the house signature padlock and keybell closure, in cheery colours like cherry berry, crème, and pumpkin. On the other end of the size spectrum is the Onthego GM tote, which offers ample room for all your workday or weekend needs, and comes in supple Monogram Empreinte leather in noir or crème.

Launched just a few years ago, the Louis Vuitton Twist has already cemented its place in the handbag hall of fame, counting Beyoncé, Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Zendaya as fans. Timelessly elegant, the Twist is cleverly designed with a “wave” base to provide extra space without looking too bulky, along with the now-iconic LV twist-lock, and a sliding chain strap for greater versatility. Made from scratch- and water-resistant Epi leather, the bag comes in two sizes and a variety of colours, as well as an adorable twin Twist & Twisty version.

The Idylle Blossom family, on the other hand, puts a twist on the four-petaled flowers of the emblematic monogram, which are thought to be based on the architectural details of gothic churches and the kamon crests of Japanese clans. Paired with the LV initials, the quatrefoil motifs grace simple yet sophisticated pendants, bracelets, and earrings in 18-karat yellow gold and diamonds.

Slightly more youthful but still as refined, the Planète LV ear studs deliver a bold and bang-on-trend look. Fashioned from luminous metal in a choice of three colours – gold, rose, and bleu – the globes are divided into two parts with a discreet hinge for a secure fit, with one in each pair emblazoned with the LV Circle logo.

Other items to seriously consider include exquisite fragrances such as Cœur Battant, Apogée, and Rose des Vents, the Écorce Rousse and En Mai perfumed candles, the Horizon wireless earphones, silk shawls from the Louis Vuitton x Jonas Wood collaboration, and novelty gifts like the Vivienne Music Box, a monogram iPhone 11 case, and even dumbbells and a table tennis set.
