Maybe we missed the point, but who doesn’t want a valentine’s day gift from their most favorite African fashion brands? She certainly wants to be a Kilentar woman in the ‘Ito Braid Fringe Mini Dress’ that looks very chic. And do not bother it doesn’t come with the red theme, this butterscotch-yellow has the elegance for any event.

Love But Make It in Chic Dress

Why It Stands Out: It has a modern twist to the shoulder-running shawl that is woven into a long knot that stretches longer than the dress. It’s absolutely the right gift for any woman who adores excellent craftsmanship.
Materials: High-quality dyed wool.
Color: Yellow.

Jewelry That Charms

Love is always embellished in a perfect accessory and this pendant piece by Adele Dejak should definitely top one of your valentines gift essentials to your loved ones. The ‘Jabilo, I Am Loved’ is expertly crafted with the inscription ‘I am loved’ and comes in both brass and 24k gold plated.

Why It Will Make A Great Gift: Made delicately for loved ones.
Material: Brass and 24K Gold Plated

Fabric of Love from Orange Culture

Not every fashion brand releases a love collection but there is always a piece in a collection that was made for love. And this unisex Casj Orange Heart two piece by Orange Culture was certainly designed for a valentine’s gift and is also beloved by your favorite singer Ayra Starr.

Why it Stands Out: A flowing outfit. The elongated shirt could be styled with many pieces
Materials: Chiffon Blend
Colors: Brown and Orange.

Twice The Scent, Twice The Charm

We all love a great fragrance— and this might be an excuse to add to that already blooming collection. You can always get a raspberry feel from ‘Intense’ by Toke Makinwa beauty and that vanilla essence from ‘Dive’ that could spark a mundane room.

Why It’s for Valentine: Delivers exquisite charm, makes you the right person to brighten a room with every step.
Intense: Extrait de Parfum.
Ingredients: Opulent mix of blackcurrant, clove, and raspberry in its heart. Well balanced between an elegant floral and cinnamon top note with patchouli, frankincense, and sandalwood at its base.

Dive: Eau de Parfum.
Ingredients: pink pepper, blackcurrant and grapefruit as opening notes. In the heart of the perfume are rose, jasmine, asparagus and pineapple for an irresistible experience and cedar, vanilla, amber and patchouli

Artsy Corset

And who says a corset can’t make a great Valentine’s gift? The Adira Pink Corset by Christie Brown is a beautifully patterned waist corset shaped like a miniskirt and embroidered in a leaf-like silhouette. The corset could make a perfect match on any fit, as long as color is being considered.

Why It Stands Out: Perfectly embroidered. The construction is elegant and chic and works fine with any long gown.
Materials: Coutil.
Colors: Pink

Lust-Worthy Loungewear

Nothing makes a cool Valentine night without exquisite loungewear. And the ‘Pine His & Hers set’ from Kkasa makes a decent fit.

Why It Stands Out: Might be the classic sleepwear set but it’s very well-tailored. The fabric details are visible too and it’s absolutely stretchy.
Materials: Cotton.
Color: Green
