3. Loewe

Instead of the traditional red or gold, Loewe opted for something a little different. The Spanish brand launched a Jade collection, featuring pendants displaying the extraordinary craftsmanship of master jade carvers Yin Xiaojin, Qiu Qijing and Chen Lei. Each of the five pendants is limited edition masterpiece.

Traditionally referred to as the “stone of heaven”, jade is an emblem of affluence and enduring vitality. The pendants take the form of various flora cultivated in Chinese soil, holding strong cultural significance.

4. Tod’s

What does Taylor Swift’s Chinese zodiac sign say about her luck in 2024?

Harmoniously blending white and burgundy, this launch collection includes a leather and fabric bag that showcases scrupulous attention to detail, while the internal leather pouch boasts an enchanting double-dragon motif.

5. Berluti

Just in time for the Lunar New Year festivities, Berluti has unveiled a line of leather goods with a colourful depiction of a coiled dragon that takes the form of the maison’s logo.

Berluti’s exclusive capsule collection showcases a selection of timeless pieces, including the Un Jour briefcase, sophisticated E’Mio briefcase, trendy Working Day backpack, and even the sleek Formula 1005 rolling suitcase – all adorned with the exquisite dragon monogram. Available in rich leather tones like the luxurious Cacao Intenso and the vibrant St Emilion Red, these bags capture the essence of spring.
