The first rule of gift-giving is that it’s the thought that counts above all. And for Valentine’s Day, an occasion devoted entirely to declaring one’s affections to another, it’s safe to say the stakes are higher than most. But a thoughtful gift needn’t be complicated, nor elaborate, nor even require a significant amount of strain on your part. Indulgent, intimate and designed to be treasured forever, a silk nightwear set from Olivia von Halle is sure to tick every box.
While just about anything that arrives in one of our signature boxes is destined to please, there are a handful of pieces from our collection that feel tailormade for the big day. Our Amore print shines brightest come 14 February – a splashy motif of love hearts that were first rendered by hand, find it adorning our Lila pajama, Bella camisole set and kimono-style Queenie Robe. Our flirtatious Blush colourway and floral Tardieu print are romantics at heart, too – and look especially divine when coupled with their matching Audrey eye mask. Or perhaps you’re feeling extra decadent? In which case, go all the way with our exceedingly opulent Yves Desire pajama, created in partnership with Mayfair jeweller Jessica McCormack and embellished with actual diamonds and rubies.
Better yet, make it personal – because nothing conveys thoughtfulness quite like a customised Valentine’s gift that’s theirs and theirs alone. As it happens, Olivia von Halle has enlisted the royally approved embroiderers Hand & Lock to monogram our pieces. Have their initials hand-sewn on to the pockets or collar – or permanently tattoo your own name in silk on the inside of the cuff.
