Valentine’s Day has arrived in Abingdon’s shop windows


Finishing Touch has pink tones, blossom branches and coordinated pink outfits. There is spring in the air and something new, possibly romance.

Masons on Bath Street has a red flowing fabric backdrop, scattered with hearts and pink paper lanterns. At the centre of the theatrical scene stands a heart-patterned dress tied with a sash.

On Stert Street, Oxfam has a bridal gown and morning suit. Valentine’s Day has gone beyond romance novels to the commitment ’til death us do part’.

At Acacia UK, the scene is playful and more domestic. Red clothing and hearts are placed around a table in what is described as “The Love Nest”.

Judging by these displays, some of the shop window mannequins have lost their heads and others their hearts.
