A Sweet Collaboration Blooms for Valentine’s 2026
Belgium’s esteemed chocolatier, Désirée, with a heritage spanning over 120 years, is embarking on its first-ever collaboration with the popular Japanese bag brand, Ball & Chain. This exciting partnership introduces a limited-edition collaboration bag, set to be a highlight of the 2026 Valentine’s season.
This unique bag beautifully marries Désirée’s rich, traditional Belgian chocolate artistry with Ball & Chain’s contemporary design sensibilities. The centerpiece of this collaboration is Désirée’s iconic rabbit, brought to life through Ball & Chain’s signature intricate and vibrant embroidery. The design, dubbed “Lapan Park,” depicts a playful scene where rabbits, enchanted by Désirée’s chocolates, joyfully frolic within a theme park setting. The multi-colored, three-dimensional embroidery transforms the bag into what can only be described as “wearable art,” captivating the eye with its detailed textures and lively imagery.
Crafted from durable, water-repellent thick nylon, the bag is designed for both elegance and practicality. It combines a luxurious feel with robust functionality, making it suitable for a variety of occasions, from everyday shopping to serving as a stylish main accessory. Its clever design allows it to be neatly folded into a compact, palm-sized package, secured with an attached elastic band, making it an excellent eco-friendly gift option. This item is a special Valentine’s 2026 offering, available in limited quantities until supplies last.
