Montserrat New York is a reflection of reimagined tradition in a modern style. This Valentine’s Day, the brand created a collection of wearable, sustainable art for every kind of romantic. When designing any collection, Cordon-Bouzan looks to Greek and Roman mythology and Shakespeare for inspiration. She begins to weave the intricate stories of muses, lovers, and unconditional affection into modern day life of Montserrat New York wearers.
“I imagine that the modern day Romeo and Juliet would be a downtown couple, slightly campy and alive and in love. The pieces in this collection are made to be worn year-round, but are the perfect gift for a lover—or platonic lover—on Valentine’s Day,” says Cordon-Bouzan. “One of the first pieces I designed is the Cantinori Necklace and Earrings, made for a date I was going on with my now-husband at Il Cantinori, a New York and Montserrat New York staple. There’s something so magical about a date in New York at a pasta spot, and I really wanted to bring that experience to life with this collection and campaign.”
The Lock Collection and Love in Little Italy campaign are now live and available exclusively from Montserrat New York at montserrat-nyc.com. The Love in Little Italy collection starts at $275 and features three pieces, all boasting an 18K gold plated 925 recycled sterling silver lock featuring a lab-grown diamond.
