Some may scoff at the thought of a heart-shaped clutches and pink hues, but for me, it’s a fun way to show off my personality. It’s a chance to break out of my everyday neutrals, and embrace a bit of fun. Plus, who doesn’t love a bag with a heart charm or a touch of red? It's like carrying a little burst of happiness on your arm! Maybe you're planning a romantic date night, a fun night out with the girls, or even a cosy Valentine’s Day celebration.

So, I say embrace the Valentine's Day handbag trend! It's a chance to have some fun, express your personality, and maybe even find a new favourite bag that goes beyond the holiday.
