When it comes to luxury commerce, Valentine’s Day has evolved into a strategic retail opportunity for brands by transforming perennial favourites into highly desirable seasonal offerings. Across fashion, jewellery and beauty, these releases highlight Valentine’s Day being about so much more than heart motifs and floral patterns — it is a chance to celebrate love (and romance) through personalised luxury offerings and limited edition releases. From curated ready-to-wear selections and signature leather bags to rare timepieces and jewellery, LUXUO highlights how brands increase consumer desire by utilising gifting and narrative storytelling to deliver aspirational seasonal ranges that resonate with both first-time buyers and collectors alike.
Fashion
Dior by Jonathan Anderson
For Valentine’s Day, Dior applies Jonathan Anderson’s Spring/Summer ’26 design language directly to its most commercially recognisable pieces, turning the Maison’s core leather goods and accessories into a curated seasonal release. Rather than introducing new silhouettes, the House refreshes signature pieces by referencing original motifs and 18th-century emblems to highlight the brand’s history while generating renewed interest during a key gifting-led retail window.
The Revolution Flowers print — drawn from the aforementioned 18th-century emblem — is applied across the Dior Book Tote, Saddle and Lady Dior, complete with matching “D, I, O, R” charms and is extended into wallets, silk scarves and Mitzahs in soft blue and pink tones. The Doves & Roses motif — referencing the 1956 Pastorale dress — appears as plumetis embroidery on the white Lady Dior and light blue Lady D-Joy, highlighting the bag’s clear archival lineage.
Jewellery — including the Tribales earrings — and the Saltwind sneakers are similarly updated with floral detailing, while the Floral Heart motif features on silk squares and the Medallion design is reworked with a rosy finish on the Dior Book Tote and Saddle bow. By refreshing established icons with historic detailing, Dior demonstrates how Valentine’s Day can drive desirability by reinterpreting proven customer favourites rather than reinventing the design wheel to deliver on seasonal novelty alone.
Balenciaga Valentine 26 Series
True to its design DNA, Balenciaga approaches Valentine’s Day with a deliberately tongue-in-cheek, anti-romantic stance. While most luxury brands lean into sentimental imagery and overt symbols of affection, Balenciaga opts for conceptual graphics rooted in irony. For 2026, the House revisits its seasonal Valentine Series through graphic ready-to-wear staples anchored in its signature distressed aesthetic. Leveraging recognisable design codes and familiar silhouettes such as crinkle-effect, washed black hoodies and T-shirts, Balenciaga reinforces its established visual language while offering a Valentine’s-specific point of differentiation.
Balenciaga’s Valentine 26 Series point of differentiation being red prints of the so-called “Love Equation”, attributed to theoretical physicist Paul Dirac. Key pieces present symbolic equations on the front, paired with a scientific explanation on the back, reframing quantum entanglement as a conceptual metaphor rather than a literal expression of romance and deliberately rejecting heart-shaped motifs. By applying seasonal artwork to core wardrobe staples, Balenciaga positions the Valentine 26 Series as an accessible entry point for both gifting and self-purchase, prioritising narrative-led appeal over traditional romantic signifiers.
Burberry
The theme of luxury fashion brands highlighting core sigatures while offering an expanded range of gifts available for personalisation continues with Burberry. For Valentine’s Day 2026, Burberry has introduced a curated Valentine’s Day edit centred on its most recognisable icons. The selection spans Burberry Check bags and small leather goods, jewellery, fragrances and knitwear, supported by an expanded personalisation offer. This includes cashmere sweaters, check tote bags, wool check cashmere capes, knight stamp charms and check round sunglasses.
Burberry also released a campaign starring British model Jean Campbell and American artist Orfeo Tagiuri — both long-standing friends of the House and a real-life couple — that leverages authenticity to reinforce emotional connection as a driver of consumer appeal. Set within a London florist, the short film and stills capture understated gestures of affection against recognisable urban backdrops, reaffirming Burberry’s ongoing dialogue with London and contemporary British identity.
Watches & Jewellery
Blancpain: A Petite Valentine’s Watch Dressed in a Chérie Red Strap
The launch of Blancpain’s mini Villeret Saint-Valentin 2026 marks the 26th consecutive year that the Maison has released a limited-edition timepiece for the occasion. The petite Villeret features a diamond-set bezel and a heart-cut diamond at twelve — paired with a dial crafted from nacre perlée — one of the rarest forms of mother-of-pearl used in watchmaking. Produced in just 14 pieces — a symbolic reference to February 14th — and sourced from less than two percent of usable shell material, the timepiece underscores Blancpain’s emphasis on rarity and specialist craftsmanship.
The piece also reflects Blancpain’s long-standing commitment to women’s watchmaking. Under Betty Fiechter — the first woman to lead a Swiss watch brand from 1933 to 1967 — the Maison pioneered automatic wristwatches for women, including the ‘Rolls’ in the 1930s. That spirit of innovation continues in the mini Villeret which movement features an engraved heart on the rotor visible through a sapphire case back. The watch is finished with a varnished alligator leather strap in Blancpain’s signature Chérie red which the brand notes is “a nod to passion” and “echos the burning colour of love”.
Sincere Fine Watches and Jacob & Co.’s Love, Unbound
For Valentine’s Day 2026, Jacob & Co. presents the Love Lockdown collection — a series of jewellery pieces that reinterpret devotion through bold, handcuff-inspired motifs. Crafted in 18-karat rose gold and set with hundreds of meticulously arranged diamonds, the collection is aimed to express love and commitment while reflecting Jacob & Co.’s ability to transform passion into artistry.
Key pieces from the Love Lockdown collection include the Love Lockdown Diamond Cuff Necklace — featuring 100 round brilliant-cut diamonds on an 18-inch adjustable chain — and the Love Lockdown Wristlet, set with 2,046 diamonds totaling 21.88 karats. Bracelets, rings and earrings complete the offering, from the two-finger pavé ring to earrings featuring 132 diamonds along a 4.25-inch chain. Each piece balances bold visual impact with personal symbolism, offering a contemporary take on traditional romantic “Valentine’s Day” jewellery. The handcuff motif serves as both a statement of connection and a reminder of enduring commitment, while the extensive use of pavé diamonds positions the collection as an audacious interpretation of love.
Qeelin’s Love Letter in Akoya Pearl and Diamonds
Qeelin expands its Wulu Petite Pearl collection for Valentine’s Day 2026, presenting a cohesive set of diamond-accented red cord bracelets and pearl drop earrings. Rooted in Eastern symbolism and interpreted through a contemporary lens, the collection draws on the legendary “red thread of fate” — the belief that an invisible thread connects soulmates across time and distance — with red cords representing connection, diamonds sealing vows and Akoya pearls embodying purity and devotion.
The new designs reinterpret Qeelin’s signature Wulu gourd motif — a symbol of abundance and lasting fortune — through minimalist yet sculptural forms. Each piece centres on a luminous Akoya pearl, cradled by pavé-set diamonds that trace the gentle curves of the gourd, while the tactile warmth of red cord adds a personal element. The collection includes matching red cord bracelets and pearl drop earrings, each set in 18K rose gold and accented with pavé diamonds along the Wulu motif. The bracelets feature adjustable cords, allowing them to be layered or worn individually, while the earrings showcase the same sculptural curves in a lightweight, wearable design. Additional pieces — including necklaces and bangles — complement the set, enabling customers to create a coordinated look. The result is jewellery that balances poetic symbolism offering a meaningful option for a Valentine’s Day gift.

AMAFFI Perfume House’s Three Scents, Three Love Languages
For Valentine’s Day 2026, AMAFFI Perfume House explores the language of love through two distinct fragrances, each crafted to convey a different facet of romance. Rather than presenting a single signature scent, the collection offers curated options for gifting, allowing buyers to choose a fragrance that aligns with personal preference and mood.
Hot Heart reimagines masculine allure with a combination of grapefruit, cardamom, cypress, musk and oak moss. The composition balances freshness and intensity, creating a scent that is both immediate and enduring. Packaged in a hexagonal glass bottle and presented in a black lacquered wooden box lined with English velvet, the fragrance frames itself as a bold gift for him.
For women, Royal White Diamond captures romance through layers of ylang-ylang, black currant, lily of the valley, rose de Mai, violet leaf and a base of amber and musk. Its crystal bottle and Swarovski-adorned lacquered box design amplifies the drama of the scent.
Available at AMAFFI Perfume House — located at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands — the collection offers an experiential approach to gifting, with in-store fragrance tours allowing customers to explore each scent in person.
Miss Dioramour
For Valentine’s Day 2026, Dior introduces Miss Dioramour — a limited edition fragrances of just 150 bottles that celebrates love through heritage. Inspired by Christian Dior’s original instructions to “make me a perfume that smells of love,” this annual Valentine’s release combines the House’s couture savoir-faire with Francis Kurkdjian’s signature floral chypre composition from the Miss Dior Parfum. This Valentine’s edition is distinguished by a silk bow in Dior’s signature pink, crafted, cut and tied by hand at the neck of each bottle. Drawing on archival inspiration from a 1968 “Say it with flowers”
(“Dites-le avec des fleurs” in French) silk scarf designed by Marc Bohan. The bow pays homage to Dior’s New Look heritage while incorporating the playful movement and signature swallow-tail cut of the House’s atelier craftsmanship.
Miss Dioramour also reflects Dior’s long-standing connection with the rose in both couture and fragrance. Over time this beloved flower — present throughout the Dior universe — has been established as a truly inspirational muse stemming from Christian Dior’s childhood garden in Granville. Today, it is sourced from the May rose fields at Château de La Colle Noire in Provence where the floral notes are woven into Kurkdjian’s composition, blending Jasmine, fruity top notes and elegant woody undertones. The result is a floral and woody olfactory masterpiece.
