Valentine's Day arm candy! The new bag brand on our wish list
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and you may be seeking the perfect present, or bookmarking yourself a pick-me-up for surviving January. Whether you’re celebrating romantic love, self-love or Galentine’s this year, a new handbag is sure to impress, as well as being a gift they (or you!) can enjoy for seasons – and years – to come.
Aranyani is the new accessories label on our radar. Founded in India, the brand is a tribute to the country’s rich heritage of skilled craftsmanship.
You'll find striking jewel tones of red, pink and navy as well as timeless black and olive to amp up your workwear and weekend looks. New to the collection this spring is the Stone Drops range, adorned with precious smoky quartz gemstones embedded in antique gold hardware.
Take our poll:
The gold gilding process is an ancient art that applies 24 karat gold to surfaces, with each bag using full-grain French calf napa leather. With each bag considered a work of art, it carries a QR code on its authenticity card which can be scanned to reveal the craftsman who created it.
Aranyani aims to make a positive impact on people and planet, and has introduced a number of measures that benefit the local community. The brand has founded an Education & Vocational Trust to pay for the education of employees’ children as well as providing accommodation and local produce for its craftspeople.
So, whether your Valentine is a loved one or yourself, we’ve selected 6 styles we’d be thrilled to unwrap on 14th February…
