Our blog posts are normally aimed at the female of the species but today’s instalment is very much for our male fans, and particularly those who need a bit of gift inspiration for February 14^th!  So, for all you romantics out there (and we know you’re there!), we’ve come up with some top ideas to delight your loved one.  Read on….

LUSH COSMETICS

Here at Anya Sushko, there is nothing we love more than a long hot bath with a luxurious bath bomb from Lush Cosmetics.  Our favourite is the Fizzbanger Bath Bomb!  The release of citrus and cinnamon scents mingled with a hint of ylang ylang is simply intoxicating, and we’re sure your Valentine will adore it.  Or if you want something even more sensuous, go for the Lover Lamp….

BLENHEIM PALACE

Why not woo your loved one with a trip to Blenheim Palace, one of the UK’s most romantic country houses, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Based in the charming Oxfordshire village of Woodstock, it is the birthplace of Winston Churchill and now the principal residence of the dukes of Marlborough.  The vista of the huge, sweeping gardens and lake is truly stunning.  We love it here!

TATTY DEVINE

No girl would be disappointed with a cool and stylish piece from one of our jewellery favourites, Tatty Devine.  Always ultra distinctive and modern, the designs will give any lady that fresh and sassy look.  We love the new Bougainvillea Necklace, a bright number for that formal evening or to add a dash of colour and class to a dress-down look.  Or maybe you like the look of the Glitter Heart Necklace – it certainly won’t fail to set your lady’s heart aflutter!

Banya

For a spa day with a difference, why not try a visit to traditional Russian sauna, Banya No 1?  Indulge your Valentine with a Honey & Salt Scrub, a wonderful way to moisturise and cleanse the skin without stripping away any natural oils.  The smell of honey melting under the heat of a Parnaya (steam room) will transport you and your loved one to a different world.  Combine this with a Parenie, a traditional thermal treatment involving a light brushing with a leafy and fragrant bundle of birch, oak or eucalyptus twigs (venik).  This invigorating treatment boosts blood circulation as well as relieving tension and stress.  A spa day to remember!

OUR REDS & PINKS

Last but certainly not least, we couldn’t leave without suggesting one of our very own beautiful products!  What better time than Valentine’s Day to show your loved one how much you care with a Berry Mini-Wristlet or Berry Mini-Purse?  Our Mini Hiss Clutch would also be a perfect gift for that special girl.  Or, if the mood takes you, go all out with our Luxury Modern Extravaganza Handbag.

We are offering a 20% discount to the first 20 people who make an order.

We at Anya Sushko have a penchant for traditional and classic English style. Our latest collaboration is therefore a natural match for match with one of the oldest, most traditional English leisure resorts we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing – the Chester Grosvenor Hotel and Spa.

Grand Entrance of Grosvenor Hotel

Situated in the leafy English countryside, in the beautiful Chester area, the Chester Grosvenor Hotel and Spa is as gorgeously traditional as it can get. It occupies an historic location on Eastgate, in the centre of Chester and it is right next to the landmark Eastgate Clock and in close proximity to other notable local sights, including Grosvenor Park, The Mall Chester, Chester Cathedral, and the ancient city walls. The Grade II listed building which it is located in was built between 1863 and 1866 and is owned by the Duke of Westminster.

Chester Cathedral

Notable guests of the hotel have included Princess Diana, several Princes of Wales as well as Queen Elizabeth II who visited the hotel when it hosted wedding festivities for a daughter of the Grosvenor family. The hotel itself spoils its guests with a Michelin star restaurant as well as a gorgeous spa which would leave even the most discerning pamper queen pleased to perfection. Our journey to the Chester Grosvenor commenced with a train journey which transported us to the green surroundings of Chester, where we had the opportunity to visit the stunning cathedral on our way to the five star hotel.

Green surroundings in Chester

We received the warmest reception by the hotel’s management team, headed by Jonathan Slater, the Managing Director who has recently been shortlisted in the European Hospitality Awards (read more here: http://www.chesterchronicle.co.uk/news/business/chester-grosvenor-managing-director-shortlisted-7964920). We were kindly shown around the hotel facilities which we toured and explored to establish the most suitable place for the Anya Sushko handbags collection display. The Spa boutique was the natural choice – the most tranquil spot of the hotel, where its guests are transported to a world of calm and peace – the perfect place to be introduced to our latest collection.

Anya Sushko Berry Accessories display

Together with the Chester Grosvenor management and the Spa Manager, Victoria, we chose to launch with the Berry collection as we felt it works best with the surroundings. Anyone visiting the hotel Spa can now purchase a bespoke range of Berry small leather accessories especially handcrafted for the Grosvenor. Displayed next to the luxury collection of Darphin skincare products, the Berry items are the perfect gift for a loved one or a treat for oneself.

We created a range of wristlets for easy days lounging around, purses and make-up bags so that you can treat your daily essentials like royalty, and pencil cases for smaller items that would appeal to even the most discerning gentlemen in your life. The colour theme is Autumn orange, sky blue, cream and charcoal and each item is finished with a wrist strap as well as a colourful luxury tassel, which can be changed and added on demand.

Closer look at the display!

To celebrate the launch, we want to spoil you! If you are headed for the Chester Grosvenor, send us your selfie with the accessories on display for your chance to win an item of your choice! Tag us @anyasushkobags on Instagram and Twitter with the hashtag #AnyaxGrosvenor
