Fall in love with these heart-shaped handbags
This Valentine’s Day, Cupid’s got his bow directed towards our shopping basket. Heart-shaped handbags have got us feeling all a flutter

Forget affection, this Valentine’s Day, we're lusting after a handbag in a heart shape. Yes, the eternal symbol of love has been immortalised in a range of loved-up leather goods, by luxury labels including Celine, Dior and Saint Laurent. Forget carrying your heart on your sleeve, this year, sling it across your shoulder or swing it from your finger.

Saint Laurent
‘Riva’ large bucket bag in vintage leather and heart-shaped studs, £3,360, by Saint Laurent
