TORONTO, Jan. 15, 2013 /CNW/ - eBay Canada, the country's leader in e-commerce, and top fashion destination, is adding some sparkle and shine this winter with the launch of the eBay Valentine's Collective - an exclusive partnership with prominent Canadian jewellery designers Dean Davidson Designs, Foxy Originals and Rebekah Price Designs to create a tailored, limited-edition collection of must-have accessories.

"We're thrilled to be working with three fantastic Canadian jewellery designers to create unique accessories, just in time for Valentine's Day," says Andrea Stairs, country manager, eBay Canada. "The capsule collections are true reflections of each designer's aesthetic and they offer Canadians a unique opportunity to own something very special."

Each designer has contributed five limited-edition pieces - all priced at $100 or less. The collection includes bracelets, earrings and necklaces for ladies as well as cufflinks for men. The pieces are exclusive to eBay for the duration of the sale, which runs from January 15^th to February 28^th, 2013, or while supplies last, at eBay.ca/valentinescollective. All items will be sold at fixed prices, with free shipping across Canada.

Hot off the heels of the highly successful Holiday Collective, the Valentine's Collective is exclusively Canadian and continues the series of fashion designer collaborations with the e-commerce site.

"The Valentine's Collective is another example of eBay Canada's commitment to delivering unique and inspiring fashion to its community of users, and to connecting fashion buyers, designers and retailers across the country and around the world."
