In 2006, Swarovski introduced their new collection, the Swarovski Lovlots, which are a Swarovski collection like that of the Swarovski Silver Crystal collection. The Lovlots are darling little figurines full of color and personality. Swarovski has a little story behind each of them, including their personality that most anyone can identify with. That original group of Swarovski Lovlots was called the Pioneers.
In 2008, Swarovski and the California Institute of Art entered into a a joint venture where the CalArts students and alumni would develop original characters, content, and animated films, to create stories about the Swarovski Lovlots figurines. (More details at the CalArt web site.) The Swarovski company and CalArt believe that this joint venture is very complimentary to the creativity and backgrounds and business goals for Swarovski.

While we do not have any supportive documentation, we have a theory that the manufacturer compliments each Swarovski Lovlots collection with a Swarovski Limited Edition figurine. Examining the recent Lovlots collections, there does appear to be one exclusive piece that is a limited edition for the collection.
(**In 2012, Swarovski moved the "Happy Ducks" and "Kris Bears" collections were moved to the Lovlots Group.)
Collector favorites of the Swarovski Lovlots collection include: Shady Mo, Pinky Mo, and Flower Mo. Very soon, there will be some new "Mo" introductions. Swarovski has released images of the new Swarovski Lovlots. Belle Mo is a medium Cow, blue in color, with accenting flowers like those on Flower Mo. Additionally, in May thru August, Swarovski had an online exclusive release "Country Mos". Country Mos are clear cows with topaz bells and colored spots. These cows were sold as a pair and are sold out in the USA. Swarovski Country Mos are available in Crystal Exchange America's online store.
Swarovski Glamour Mos were available through the end of 2010. These Swarovski Lovlots were also sold as a pair, with a retail price of $120. Swarovski Glamour Mos are available in Crystal Exchange America's online store.
Among the newest Swarovski Lovlots release is the Swarovski Charming Mo, which is also a Swarovski limited edition. This Swarovski Lovlots issue celebrates the 5th anniversary of the Lovlots series. It retailed for $245 in 2011. The latest Swarovski Lovlots release is the Swarovski Sunshine Mo, launched in 2011 as an online limited edition exclusive and Swarovski Santa Mo in mid-July, 2011. For 2012, Swarovski Lucky Mo in the offficial MO limited edition.
Fact sheets for Swarovski Lovlots can be found at RetiredSwarovski.com . These FREE, easy-to-use PDF files contain miniature photographs, year introduced, year retired, Swarovski designer, part number and system number.
Swarovski includes product literature with the Lovlots crystal. They include a Swarovski certificate, and another pamphlet specific to the Lovlots. The Swarovski Lovlots boxes (cylinders) are also unique. The packaging indicates the collection: "Gang of Dogs", "House of Cats", or "City Park". These boxes have a vibrant, colorful design, which is very different than the silver Swarovski Box or the newer Swarovski blue packaging.
