Collection No. 20- Valentine's 2024

Apparently my love language in 2024 was bows, pearls, and just one more little heart. 🎀

After the glitter, pom-poms, pizza hearts, and playful chaos of Valentine's 2023, this collection took a sweeter, more vintage inspired turn. Think delicate chinoiserie florals, soft Peach Fuzz tones, pink and ruby red, little heart charms, and bows on just about everything. And I do mean everything.

There were romantic statement studs, tiny huggie hoops, textured corduroy, pearl details, and intricate combinations of patterns and shapes. One of the things I love about looking back through these archives is seeing how a collection can feel so cohesive while still giving every design its own personality.

And of course, there's Snoopy with a little Valentine's greeting and sweet strawberry bows, because even my more romantic collections apparently need a healthy dose of nostalgia and whimsy. A little old-fashioned love letter, a little playful wink. Very Olive + Arrow.

By this point, the vintage florals and chinoiserie details I'd been exploring in earlier collections were finding their way into new shapes and color palettes. Looking back, I can see how much joy there was in pairing those familiar motifs with something fresh and how much I loved playing with the tiniest finishing touches.
