Kate Spade Manhattan bag
Can a tote bag be a work of art? Kate Spade says yes: the New York fashion brand unveils a small Manhattan bag adorned with a colourful embroidery of snake-like scales and floral motifs. The bag, crafted from smooth leather, is practical accessory as much as a pretty one.
Gucci Blondie bag
Gucci puts its signature Rosso Ancora hue to good use this Chinese New Year. The Italian brand has unveiled a special edition of its Blondie bag that comes in the rich, red hue—and in shiny patent leather for an extra dose of glamour.
COS knot bag charm
COS has unveiled a line of repurposed leather bag charms that will take your accessorising game to the next level. The elegant charms come in different colours with different meanings: the Cross knot (symbolising good fortune) is paired with yellow jade (a long life); the Peace knot is paired with a healing clear quartz stone; the Ice Blossom knot with jade is said to bring good luck; and the Double Ear knot with rose quartz represents unity and all forms of unconditional love.

Tod’s signature shoes have been updated with a festive colour palette to mark the Year of the Snake. The highlight for us is the elegant Gommino driving shoes, which are now offered in brushed red leather—nicely contrasted by Tod’s iconic pebble outsoles.

Chloé printed baby tee
Boho chic? On Chinese New Year? Chloé makes it possible with its printed logo T-shirt. It features a snake illustration originally designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chloé’s Spring/Summer 1969 collection. The minimalist baby tee, which comes in light brown, can easily be paired with your favourite jeans.
Dior Tribales earrings
For the Lunar New Year, the iconic Dior Tribales earrings have been reimagined with a snake motif. The French luxury brand also honours its founder Christian Dior’s passion for astrology, engraving the gold-finish metal snakes with moon and stars. Consider this a festive twist to your classic pearl earrings.
Coach Idol bag
Coach’s mini bag gets a big makeover. The new Idol bag is crafted from leather and canvas in deep red hues—and features a striking snakeskin leather trim that runs all around the accessory.
Moschino knit shirt
Moschino offers a twist to this year’s Chinese zodiac symbol in its Lunar New Year 2025 collection. The snake on this knit shirt is inspired by a painting by founder Franco Moschino. The vibrant carnation flowers, meanwhile, are borrowed from the brand’s Resort 2025 collection designed by current creative director, Adrian Appiolaza.
Shop the Moschino Lunar New Year capsule collection at the Moschino Marina Bay Sands boutique.
Tumi Alpha Bravo Retreat Tote bag
The Tumi Retreat Tote—from the brand’s utilitarian Alpha Bravo line—is now made striking with a gilded graphic of the snake. The zodiac sign is interpreted in gold, calligraphic brushstrokes that covers the façade of the Tumi tote. This is a bag that you’ll want to show off on your next weekend trip.
Polène Lopio bag
Polène has unveiled a limited-edition bag specially for the Lunar New Year: the Lopio bag. The sculptural bucket bag is inspired by the lantern festival.
