Yves Saint-Laurent Valentine designer hearts postage stamps - YSL

The first ever France Valentine day "designer hearts" postage stamps were issued in 2000. The stamps, designed by the Yves Saint-Laurent couture house, represent 2 facing snakes and a face. These valentine stamps were also available in a booklet of 10 adhesive stamps and a souvenir sheet.

Christian Lacroix Valentine designer hearts postage stamps

In 2001 it's up to Christian Lacroix to design the valentine heart stamps set. One stamp and a souvenir sheet were issued. The souvenir sheet is beautiful. It represents buttons on a tunic, with the heart shaped stamps hanging on it. A much better set than 2000.

Torrente's Valentine designer hearts postage stamps

Unfortunately, 2002 is a designer-less year. The valentine heart-shaped stamp was done by photograph Yann-Arthus Bertrand.

The designer's valentine stamps are back in 2003 with a set designed by the Torrente fashion house. The souvenir sheet is my favorite, so sleek and sexy.

Chanel's Valentine designer hearts postage stamps

2004 is a vintage year for the France fashion designer hearts postage stamps! Karl Lagerfeld agreed to create the design for the 2 Chanel stamps. The 0.50c value represents a bottle of Chanel n.5 and the 0.70c value has a supermodel in front of the Eiffel tower. Both designs are also available in self-adhesive stamps. The mini-sheet of 5 stamps is an intricate design of bows and necklaces.

Cacharel's Valentine designer hearts postage stamps

Cacharel is featured on the 2005 valentine day stamps. The 0.82c value is my favorite valentine stamps! It represent the Cacharel bird. Did you know that cacharel is a little bird from France's Camargue region?

Jean-Louis Scherrer Valentine designer hearts postage stamps

Jean-Louis Scherrer is the french designer chosen for the 2006 France Valentine day stamps. 2 different stamps were issued both in regular and self-adhesive version, and a beautiful souvenir sheet.

A disappointing 2007 Valentine stamps issue by Givenchy. I was expecting something more original than just their logo and a wreath plastered on the stamps and souvenir sheet.

Hermes stamps souvenir sheet

I love the new Valentine stamps by Hermes! They are available as souvenir sheet, 2 gummed stamps and 2 adhesive stamps. The design is from Hermes scarf designer Zoe Pauwels. A real threat for the eyes and more affordable than an Hermes silk scarf.

How much does those Valentine postage stamps and souvenir sheets cost?

For the basic collection (regular stamps, self-adhesive stamps and souvenir sheet) you will not ruin yourself! The souvenir sheets are at the most 10$ a piece. Don't pay more than that per piece!! The regular stamps runs between 1.50$-3$ a piece. The adhesive version are a bit harder to find and can run up to 5$-8$ (then again, don't pay more than this).

Valentine day also rhymes with chocolate! The french postal service have just issued a superb souvenir sheet of 10 stamps. Not only does this mini-sheets looks like the real thing....it also smells like choclolate!

Beautiful stamps. Enjoyed.

Mary from Chicago area on November 30, 2011:

I wish the US would do this for Valentine's Day! We have some wonderful young (and established) designers who could do a great job. Love the chocolate bar stamp sheet, too -- yum! *blessed*

Pam Irie from Land of Aloha on November 27, 2011:

These postage stamps are all wonderfully stylized!

Lorelei Cohen from Canada on May 28, 2011:

Absolutely beautiful once again. They are truly lovely designs. I have yet to do stamps. I tried one design but was turned down on the words redneck so will have to perhaps go with a wildlife theme. Best of wishes to you.

Virginia Allain from Central Florida on February 24, 2011:

Wow, these are so much more exciting than the blah stamps the U.S. Postal service puts out. I'm as patriotic as the next person, but they've really overdone the American flag variations.
