Qixi, or the Chinese Valentine's Day, falls on Aug 13 this year. Let us find out what luxury labels have to offer as tribute to the Chinese way of love.

Heart and whispers

As a homegrown jewelry brand, TSL had specially launched a Heart Whisper collection on Qixi. The platinum necklaces, which have heart, key, and clover pendants, sparkle with love just like the diamond centerpiece on the chain. Definitely something special for the someone special.

French headdress label Alexandre Zouari has launched its haute couture collection lighted up with Swarovski crystals. Buy it for the princess so she can wear it on that date out on Qixi, so you can play Price Charming.

The Chinese myth says that on Qixi, the lonely cowherd boy meets his lover, the weaver girl, by walking on the backs of magpies, the birds having formed a bridge to connect the star-crossed lovers. Swiss watchmaker Jaquet Droz has this special Petite Heure Minute Relief Seasons series featuring two vivid magpies sculpted on the dial. An ideal way to send the message: I love you.
