Striking a Romantic Prelude: 2026 Qixi luxury gift ideas to bring a sense of quality and ritual to the holiday
Whether you’re treating yourself or receiving it, it’s happiness either way!
Once August arrives, the air begins to fill with the romance of the season. Every Qixi Festival, choosing a gift that feels refined and meaningful is always exciting and a little daunting. This year, major brands have rolled out Qixi-exclusive pieces one after another, and POPBEE has rounded up gifts from nine brands. Whether for someone else or yourself, they turn your affection into exquisite objects to carry every day.
1. LOEWE: Mini Scarf Bag
This year, LOEWE interprets the spirit of Qixi through its distinctive craftsmanship. The Mini Scarf bag, the collection’s centerpiece, pairs its signature knotted silhouette with elegantly intersecting leather panels to symbolize a lasting bond. Planet and dice charms add detail, while the Lovebean charm, inspired by the traditional Chinese love token known as the love bean, turns affection and longing into a light, delicate leather accessory. The collection is unified by a soft crystal-pink palette, and even LOEWE’s signature Anagram motif takes on a romantic pink hue.
2. Chloé: Pleated Heart Jewelry
For Qixi, Chloé turns to soft gray-blue, vintage gold, and pale pink, drawing inspiration from the timeless legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Centered on Chloé Pleated Heart jewelry and Chloé Symbols keychains, the collection conveys the sentiment of the holiday through simple, romantic lines. Whether as a treat for yourself or a lasting promise to someone you cherish, the designs delicately express different sides of love.
3. PEDRO: Alyssa
If you’re on a limited budget but still want a sense of occasion, gift sets from accessible luxury brands are a pleasing option. PEDRO has launched a Qixi-exclusive gift set featuring the Alyssa suede woven shoulder bag. Soft pink suede paired with an exclusive deep-red heart charm strikes just the right modern note.
4. CHARLES & KEITH Gift Sets
CHARLES & KEITH’s new Qixi collection is centered on soft, romantic pink, featuring a pink floral handbag and jewelry gift set, along with Mary Jane shoes with pink chain straps. The designs blend delicate feminine details with a playful, modern feel.
5. Dior Accessories
For those who prefer small luxury accessories, Dior offers refined options. The Lady Dior Freesia Card Holder comes in a soft pink shade, crafted from lambskin with the house’s signature Cannage quilting and finished with a decorative leather bow and a metal D.I.O.R. charm. It has five card slots and can be paired with Dior Tribales earrings, which layer pearls with the brand’s classic symbols for an elegant look.
6. Miu Miu Fragrance
Miu Miu introduces the new Miutine Eau de Parfum, a chypre gourmand fragrance that opens with bright citrus and wild strawberry, followed by soft gardenia at its heart and a base of brown sugar, vanilla, and patchouli. Its sweet, intimate scent reworks the traditional structure, bringing a strong sense of occasion to the holiday.
7. BVLGARI Bags
BVLGARI has selected bags from the new Divas’ Dream Marquise collection for Qixi, shaping the line’s signature fan-like arcs into elegant curves reminiscent of a heartbeat. Crafted from soft goatskin, each bag comes with a fan-shaped leather charm containing a mirror. Open it gently to reveal a heart-fluttering touch of luxury for the occasion.
8. Valentino Rockstud Shoes
If you prefer a cool yet feminine style, Valentino’s 2026 Pre-Fall collection offers classic Rockstud shoes that bring sleek metal studs into holiday looks. The soft leather contrasts sharply with the statement studs, lending a crisp attitude to sweet Qixi outfits.
9. RIMOWA
If you have a trip for two planned for Qixi, RIMOWA’s new colorway is well worth adding to the list. The brand’s popular Hybrid line now comes in Rock Gray, inspired by the fine mineral texture of travertine. Its elegant, neutral warm tone works easily with looks across seasons, and pre-orders opened first in Greater China on August 13, 2026.
Choosing a gift doesn’t have to mean chasing a sky-high price tag; what matters is whether it suits the recipient’s everyday habits. For someone who prefers simple looks, an accessible-luxury handbag or classic fragrance costing a few thousand Hong Kong dollars is a reliable choice. If emotional symbolism matters more, jewelry and accessories featuring love beans, hearts, or fan-shaped curves can better express the thoughtfulness in the details.
