Having a favourite punctuation mark might be incredibly geeky, but I do have an affection for the quotation mark. Most of the important things said about fashion in the English language are sandwiched between these delicate little flicks of punctuation. Personally, my favourite fashion quote is, "About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs." (Manolo Blahnik)
If you're the kind of person who has a passion for the English language, these little quotation brooches would be perfect for pinning to the collar of your coat, or the strap of a bag or hidden under the label of your suit jacket.
As they're not obviously feminine, the could make a great Valentine's present for the wordsmith in your life. Makes a change from the usual cufflinks and tie combo!
The Tom Binns Set Of Two Sterling Silver Quotation Brooches is £57.75 from TheOutnet, reduced from £165.
