Happy Valentine’s Day!

I hope today is filled with romance and romantic gestures.

For the couples (an awww-inducing video):

And to the single ladies & gentlemen looking…

Try “Read Dating,” an alternative to Speed Dating…

“If you’re looking for love and you’d rather cuddle up with a book than belly up to a singles bar, read on.

Picture yourself in a basement room at the central branch of the Vancouver Public Library the night before (or after) Valentine’s Day, tables covered with tablecloths, soft rock playing in the background. You are carrying a book, one that says something about you. You’re going from table to table, looking for a literary connection or, in the best case scenario, a love match...”

If you need help with last minute gift ideas for him or her, pop into Lark. We can definitely help you find something. Tons of new Arrivals from Sunspel, Hansel from Basel, and Tiger of Sweden.

I hope it’s a good one!

So, you may already have the gift, but it still feels like it’s lacking something, like a personal touch, something that says from me to you.

We have cute, little Valentine’s Day Gifts cards to give to that special someone by Pigeon Post that add the extra something.

The Valentine’s Day Series is inspired by myths,  folklores, and ancient stores of undying love from all over the world. Each card is a different tale with blank back so you can write something endearing to that person.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“The play features three interlocking plots, connected by a celebration of the wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and the Amazon queen, Hippolyta, and set simultaneously in the woodland, and in the realm of Fairyland, under the light of the moon…”

Pygamlion & Calatea:

“One fine day, Pygmalion carved the statue of a woman of unparalleled beauty. She looked so gentle and divine that he could not take his eyes off the statue. Enchanted with his own creation, he felt waves of joy and desire sweeping over his body and in a moment of inspiration he named the figurine, Galatea, meaning “she who is white like milk…”

Hinemoa & Tutanekai

“There was once a very handsome warrior called Tutanekai who used to hunt and fish with his step-brothers on their island home of Mokoia. From time to time he would daydream about the woman he would marry. But winning a bride would not be easy: his step-brothers were serious ‘ rivals and they were always boasting that they would marry the most beautiful of women and have the most children. On the mainland there was a legendary beauty called Hinemoa. Her father was a very great but gruff warrior, and he adored Hinemoa. He would not let anybody, not anybody at all, marry his Hinemoa…”

Pyramus & Thisbe

Pyramus and Thisbe is the story of two lovers in the city of Babylon who occupy connected houses/walls, forbidden by their parents to be wed, because of their parents’ rivalry. Through a crack in one of the walls, they whisper their love for each other. They arrange to meet near at Ninus‘ tomb under a mulberry tree and state their feelings for each other. Thisbe arrives first, but upon seeing a lioness with a mouth bloody from a recent kill, she flees, leaving behind her veil…”

Radha & Krishna

“The Radha-Krishna amour is a love legend of all times. It’s indeed hard to miss the many legends and paintings illustrating Krishna’s love affairs, of which the Radha-Krishna affair is the most memorable. Krishna’s relationship with Radha, his favorite among the ‘gopis’ (cow-herding maidens), has served as a model for male and female love in a variety of art forms, and since the sixteenth century appears prominently as a motif in North Indian paintings…”

To refresh your memory: what is so special about Moessmer wool?

Dating back to 1894, Moessmer Wool is one of the best wool and knit manufacturers in the fashion industry. “The Moessmer Tuchfabrik AG is today one of the few textile companies still manufacturing in fully integrated production – from wool to high-quality fabrics.
Sustainability in dealing with resources, in relationships to customers and to employees is the principle we follow in all of this.”

Yoshi Kondo only uses the best quality fabrics.
