Glorious love has been a part of SHERENE MELINDA right from its inception. Whilst a beautiful physical gift 👜👟 is no doubt appreciated, this is not the only way to give and receive love. ❤️ The "languages of love" concept was popularized by Dr. Gary Chapman in his book "The Five Love Languages". Here he talks about five love languages which are:
Words of Affirmation - This involves expressing love through verbal affirmations, compliments, and words of encouragement. 💌
Acts of Service - Some people feel loved when others perform helpful actions or acts of service for them. 😇
Receiving Gifts - For some, receiving thoughtful gifts is a significant way of feeling loved and appreciated. 🎁
Quality Time - Spending meaningful time together is the primary love language for individuals who value quality time. 🫶
Physical Touch - This love language involves expressing love through physical gestures such as hugs, kisses, and other forms of physical affection. 🤗
People may have a primary love language that is more important to them, but they can also appreciate and respond to other love languages to varying degrees. Understanding your own love language and the love language of your loved ones can contribute to more effective communication and a stronger emotional connection in a relationship.
While it's not necessary for you and your loved ones to have the exact same love language, understanding each other's love languages and being willing to express love in ways that resonate with them is vital for a healthy relationship. Here are a few considerations:
Communication - Open and honest communication about your love languages is essential. Share with each other what makes you feel loved and appreciated. 💕
Flexibility - While you may have a primary love language, being flexible and adaptable to your partner's preferences is important. It may require some effort to express love in ways that may not come naturally to you but are meaningful to your loved ones.
Celebrate Uniqueness - Appreciate and respect the differences in your love languages. Recognize that people may express love differently, and that's okay. It doesn't mean they love you any less; they just have a unique way of expressing it.
Creativity - While it's valuable to understand and cater for one another's primary love languages, incorporating elements of other love languages can add variety and depth. It's about being creative and finding different ways to connect emotionally.
Stay Intune - Pay attention to each other's needs and adjust your expressions of love accordingly. People's preferences may evolve over time, and being attuned to those changes can help you maintain a strong emotional connection. 🌹
Having the same love language is not a requirement for a successful relationship. What's more important is the willingness to understand, appreciate, and fulfill each other's emotional needs in a way that resonates with one another. It's about building a deep connection that is flexible, communicative, and responsive to the changing dynamics of your relationship. 💞

The festive season begins 28th November at Presents Galore Christmas Fair. Visit the SHERENE MELINDA stand to explore our vibrant collection of British luxury accessories featuring ethical hair-on-hide leather, handprinted silk scarves, and eco-friendly sneakers. Shop with purpose – all ticket sales support Cambridge Children’s Hospital and local charities.
The day the first Sherene Melinda Silk Twill Scarves launched was a true milestone—one I'd worked toward through months of experimentation, setbacks, and small victories. The initial collection featured three carefully selected base colours, each the product of weeks of deliberation, testing, and refinement until they felt exactly right. Every scarf was hand-printed by me in the studio, a process that ensured each piece carried its own individual character and the small, beautiful imperfections that only handcrafting can bestow. Just as with our signature handbags, each scarf possesses a personality of its own, revealed through the interplay of colour, pattern, and subtle texture variations. This unwavering commitment to uniqueness and craftsmanship lies at the very heart of the brand's philosophy—celebrating individuality, creativity, and honouring the human touch behind every product we create.
Summer feels long behind us, and as the festive season unfolds, it’s that time of year when creativity and craftsmanship take centre stage. The Spirit of Christmas Fair remains one of London’s best-loved seasonal showcases — a place where individuality, story-driven design, and thoughtful gifting shine.
