February 15th, the day after Valentine’s Day, marks San Faustino, the celebration of singlehood. A tradition that in recent years has taken on a new meaning: no longer a “consolation prize” after someone else’s romance, but an opportunity to affirm something important. Being single is not an absence, it’s a space. Time for yourself, for your passions, for freely choosing what truly represents you.
That’s why giving a gift on San Faustino makes perfect sense. A symbolic gesture, to give or to receive, that speaks of identity, character, and autonomy. Blueside Emotional Design products, handcrafted in mouth-blown borosilicate glass, become perfect allies: objects designed not to “complete” someone, but to enhance who they already are.
Campanella Flower
In this context, the Campanella Glass Flower finds its place. Inspired by the Campanula, a flower that in nature symbolizes hope, resilience, and gratitude. A plant capable of growing in difficult conditions, it becomes a metaphor for quiet strength and perseverance. In the language of flowers, the bellflower is also associated with grace, purity, and eternal love—values that speak of balance and authenticity rather than imposed bonds. Giving—or treating yourself to—a Campanella means acknowledging your own journey, honoring independence, and celebrating a beauty that needs no external validation. Glass, an eternal and luminous material, transforms this natural symbol into an object that lasts over time, just like the value of choosing yourself.
Boa Bracelet: Freedom in Motion
The Boa bracelet is a declaration of independence. Its bold, luminous glass chain follows the movement of the body without constraining it. It’s a piece of jewellery that doesn’t ask permission: noticeable yet elegant.
Perfect for San Faustino, it tells the story of a confident femininity that doesn’t seek external approval. It elevates simple outfits—a white shirt, a black sweater, a tailored jacket—becoming the detail that changes everything. A gift (or self-gift) for those who love jewellery with character, made to accompany everyday life.
Éclair Necklace: Flowing Light
The Éclair adjustable necklace is essential, fluid, and versatile. Glass meets silver in a line that adjusts, adapts, and transforms.
On San Faustino, it represents the ability to choose, to modulate, to feel comfortable with oneself in every moment. Ideal for those who love understated yet contemporary elegance, it pairs beautifully with a turtleneck, an open shirt, or a minimalist dress. A gift that speaks of balance and self-awareness.
Freak: A Detail That Tells a Story
The Freak pocket flower holder is an ironic and refined object, designed for those who like to stand out without showing off. A small glass flower replaces the classic pocket square, turning a jacket into a statement of style.
For San Faustino, it’s the perfect gift for a man who doesn’t follow predefined rules and uses elegance as personal expression. It enhances blazers, tailored jackets, or coats, and works best with monochrome outfits that let the detail shine.
Fred Glass: The Ritual of Time for Yourself
Il Fred Glass is designed for spirits—but above all, for time. Clean lines, balanced weight, transparent glass that highlights its contents.
On San Faustino, it becomes a symbol of moments dedicated to yourself: a slowly sipped whisky, a quiet evening, a mindful pause. It’s the ideal gift for those who appreciate quality and small daily rituals. Pair it with a carefully chosen bottle or a wooden tray to create a personal bar corner.
Mariposa Bow Tie: Irony and Style
The Mariposa bow tie combines glass and fabric in an accessory that breaks conventions. It’s not just a bow tie—it’s a design object that speaks of lightness and creativity.
Perfect for San Faustino, it tells the story of a man who doesn’t take himself too seriously, yet pays attention to details. It can be worn on special occasions or displayed as a decorative element on a shelf or in a studio. A gift that surprises and lasts.
San Faustino is not a response to Valentine’s Day. It’s a different moment—freer, more personal. Giving—or gifting yourself—a Blueside object means choosing something that doesn’t fill a gap, but enhances what’s already there.
Whether it’s jewellery, an accessory, or a home object, mouth-blown glass becomes the medium to celebrate being single as a space of possibility, character, and authenticity.
Because to shine, we don’t need anyone else—just ourselves.
