Then, Now And Later

We can’t believe we are saying this, but last weekend marked an entire year living in a pandemic. Looking back on the past 365 days it’s pretty clear there isn’t one aspect of our lives that hasn’t been affected. We ditched the office for zoom, we have dinner outside under heaters in 30 degree weather and we have learned how to do pretty much everything and anything from the comforts of our own home. Last year right around this time, people began to realize that if we're not going to be leaving the house, just any old pair of sweatpants weren’t going to cut it. Instead of browsing the internet for a cute dress or pair of heels to wear out on the town, we found ourselves gushing over next level pajama sets. When the fall rolled around, our heart broke even more for the restaurant industry. With temperatures dropping it seemed like yet another obstacle for an industry that had already been hit so hard. We supported our favorite local businesses in a few fabulous warm winter coats, obviously inspired by Grace Fraser in the Undoing.​ ​And with all this change, over at Lovard we are more committed than ever to making fabulous handbags and jewelry that make every woman feel fabulous no matter what the circumstance. Slowly but surely, people we love are starting to get vaccinated and from a distance there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve put together a guide to help you ease back into socializing as the world begins to open up.

Oatmeal, Beige, Creme and Tan were without a doubt the signature color scheme of the pandemic. If you embraced a neutral tone into your quarantine wardrobe chances are in the form of a sweat suit. The best thing about a matching set with an elastic waist is that you can literally wear it anywhere. Top off this versatile look with our ​Gumdrop Tiny Tote​. The handbag fits all of the essentials to take you throughout your day and comes in both python and leather to add the perfect pop of color to your favorite loungewear staple.

If you’re like us you’ve been doing anything you can to support your favorite local restaurants. While the creativity to keep diners warm while enjoying an outdoor meal in the middle of winter has been inspiring, sometimes it can still be freezing. Our ​Violin​ is the quintessential handbag to not only bring a layer of chic to your puffer jacket or snowsuit (depending on where you live!), but it also holds all everything you need to leave the house, including gloves!

Things are looking up for all of the brides who had to cancel their weddings last year. We are so excited for the handful of celebrations on our calendar once the weather gets warm. The Croissant​ handbag is the wedding clutch you have been waiting for. Made with soft lambskin leather and available in an assortment of colors, we can guarantee it’s an accessory you’ll want to own more than one of.

I don't know about you, but as soon as we are fully vaccinated the first thing we can’t wait to do is have all of our favorite people in one room together for a good old fashioned dinner party! ​The Fifty-Fifty Mixed Metal Toggle Necklace​ is the statement accessory you can count on to spice up any special occasion, whether it’s inside, outside, on your first vacation or in your living room.

And while we wait....our ​Satin Mask and gold plated snake chain ​is the number one accessory to add some glamour to your pandemic fatigue. Not only does this showstopper keep you safe, but also fabulous. We are so close to the end. Mask up and hang in there!
