Valentine's Day is a time to acknowledge love no matter what it looks like. Finding the perfect gift for someone can be difficult, but our gift guide can help you find something special for that special someone in your life. Whether you're shopping for a friend, family member, or crush, our handpicked favourites from Acne Studios, Clergerie, and Dr. Martens, along with new designers to fall in love with like D.S. & Durga, Miansai, and TEN. have you covered.
Nothing sparkles like a new piece of jewelry, especially from one of our latest additions, TEN. Confidence and elegance is gained in every outfit when a coveted necklace, bracelet, or ring is added to the ensemble. Japanese-based TEN. purposely creates their pieces to age beautifully using .925 silver, and embraces the small imperfections and patinaed colours that develop little by little with each wear. The best way to enjoy your jewelry comes from the attachment that springs up every time you see and feel your pieces; where they have come from and where they are going. No one has ever been upset about getting a gorgeous piece of jewelry for Valentine's Day, and that sure won't change with TEN.
Red is attention-grabbing, like the new silhouettes from habitué-favourite Clergerie. The architects of shoemaking, Parisian-based Clergerie comes into the spring with some of the most exciting styles we have seen to date. A snip-toed mule that's perfect for any mood, a platform loafer that bends when you walk and a wedge sandal that's ready for the resort, all using the highest quality leather and the finest craftsmanship. Made in France since 1981, Clergerie represents a daring, unconventional approach, a pure aesthetic, and a constant dialogue between masculine and feminine, always with a touch of elegance. A perfect gift for someone who enjoys the finer things, Clergerie is always a delight.
Two of our beloved best sellers, Marimekko & Marimekko Kioski, are back for spring utilizing their extensive design portfolio to create timeless clothes, accessories, and home goods that become more in-style every season. Since 1951 the Finnish design house has prioritized joy, and it shows in their iconic patterns and textiles, which serve as the foundation for each collection. The ever-popular and recognizable Unikko print celebrates its 59th birthday this year and comes back into play this season in a range of plush knits, graphic shirts, and playful dresses, ready to showcase all that the season has to offer.

The ubiquitous and ever-stylish Camper returns for SS23 with stunning, boundary-pushing designs like the Junction: a moc-toed masterpiece with removable toecap, so you can decide when to stand out but never blend in. Favourites from the Mallorca-based brand, like the Peu and Right Nina, are also back, along with a fresh take on the iconic Brutus sole, now available in a trendy mule version. Their sandal selection is always a highlight of the spring season and disappears quickly, as the comfort, style, and durability of Camper has been long admired and in-demand.
Believing that scent has the same power as sight or sound, D.S. & Durga create candles that have the power to change the essence of a room dramatically. Founders David and Kavi turned what they loved in music, nature, myth, and design into fancy fragrances in their cozy Bushwick apartment. All scents are made in-house and always will be. Each fume is a narrative: 'Concrete After Lighting' creates a scent that evokes summer in the city; when rain hits the asphalt instead of dirt. After lighting strikes, you have the air, rain, steam, and some of the weeds that grow in the cracks of New York City. Candles that conjure up familiar memories are a gift worth giving this Valentine's Day.
Miami-based Miansai creates minimal yet eye-catching men's jewelry that is sure to please this Valentine's day. A new brand for spring, we are excited about their progressive designs, high-quality construction, and timeless usage. From drawing sketches to creating molds, melting metals, and final assembly, they conceptualize, design and craft their jewelry and leather goods completely in-house.
Baserange is a line of sustainable easy-wear. The collection favors a philosophy of creating clean, simple, accessible garments and modern basics in soft silhouettes, made to emphasize natural beauty and be forever wearable. The focus is on working with high-quality, organic fabrics in innovative ways that benefit both producer and consumer while minimizing environmental impact. Whether you are mixing and matching patterns of the Triangle Bra and Bell Pants, layering the Vein Tee under a hearty knit, or out on a walk in the Basic Sweat set, Baserange has you covered this Valentine's Day and beyond.
Always goodyear welted for quality, Dr. Martens is back with a new line of platform boots & shoes that pack the height of their famous 'Quad' soles but are made new with lightweight construction. Set on an innovative two-part sole, a lightweight EVA midsole and PVC outsole with rugged deep cleats, they bring less weight and more attitude. They also feature the popular 'softwair' insole for more added comfort and an easier break-in. Dr. Martens have reached renowned timelessness status and are always a keen excitement for every season.
A gift that one wouldn't buy for themselves is always worth giving, so this year we're featuring some apothecary and grooming items from Binu Binu, Morihata, and Redecker as solid options to give someone. Binu Binu is inspired by the ritual of the Korean public bath, where generations are brought together in the simple act of cleansing. The company uses 100% natural plant botanical ingredients and essential oils, including a base of "boricha" in all of its soaps, the Korean roasted barley tea which has a place in the household as important as water.
Morihata is a company that provides artists, creators, designers, and brands an outlet for the rest of the world, meanwhile creating incredible products themselves. Their purpose is to make their innovative home and lifestyle goods available beyond the borders of Japan and, in so doing, connect Japanese artistry and ingenuity with the rest of the world. Some brands under their belt are HA KO paper incense, Binchotan Charcoal, and Sasawashi.
A lot has changed since Redecker made their first brush in 1935. Today, the name Redecker stands, as it has for many years, for an ideal combination of natural quality, function, and design. It lives from their very own blend of inventiveness, sound craftsmanship, and creativity. They make all kinds of artisanal soaps, backscratchers, and loofahs, but they are most known for their range of brushes, understood as having some of the highest quality in the world.
