15+ Stylish Red Bags For Chinese New Year And Beyond

These festive red bags can take you beyond CNY celebrations and can be used for either work or for the weekends

by Aaron Kok  /   January 18, 2020

We know red is a bright colour and for most of us, we only ever wear it when it’s Chinese New Year. But what if you don’t want to rock up to your reunion dinner looking redder than an ang ku kueh? Consider using a red bag to add that pop of huat colour instead.

Not convinced? We recently spoke to Italian designer Fabio Panzeri, the Creative Director of Braun Buffel, and he armed us with a couple of style tips to amp up your lewk over the festivities:

  • Don’t be afraid of colour. I made a lot of designs in red for Braun Buffel’s latest collection, not because we were aiming to launch something for Lunar New Year, but because red is a timeless shade that you can use for any kind of outfit from a white shirt and jeans to a classic black suit set.
  • When choosing a bag keep your personality in mind. Don’t buy something because your friends  say its nice. Listening to opinions is fine, but in the end you have to find something that you’re comfortable with because you’ll be using it.
  • Don’t follow trends. If you’re attracted to a certain bag because it’s the trendy style of the moment, know that you may not be completely at peace with the design a year from now.

Keeping those pointers in mind, the following bags will make for stylish arm candy to carry around this CNY. And when the yu sheng has finished and you’ve survived another year of CNY gatherings, you can continue to carry these bags to work, to party or on the weekend:

15+ Stylish Red Bags For Chinese New Year And Beyond
1. Bag, $579, from Braun Buffel

Small but mighty, this vintage luggage-inspired number from the German leather goods maker is striking in its design that features a top handle and gold hardware that will never go out of style.

Bag, $500, from Rabeanco
image

A structured top-handle bag gives you plenty of mileage, even after the CNY celebrations have wrapped up. Carry this to work as a punch of colour to your usual grey suits.

Bag, $1,630, from Chloe
image

We love a good dose of hardware on our bags, because it instantly makes it feel more expensive and edgier. The addition of gold chain to the front of this shoulder bag gives it a cool look without overpowering it.

Bag, $1,650, from Burberry
image

During your Chinese New Year parties, carry a slim shoulder bag to keep your essentials close by. Bonus: it also works when you’re headed out for drinks with your closest girls.

Bag, $452, from Furla
image

Fancy a bag that’s less ostentatious with the red? Choose one in a darker burgundy colour instead. The push-lock closure on the front also acts as a statement point to the bag, so you should mirror it by pairing this bag with gold jewellery.

Bag, $3,067, from Loewe
image

Featuring plenty of room to store everything you own, you can be rest assured that this bag will serve you well both during your visitations and even in the boardroom.

Bag, $79.90, from Charles & Keith
image

If you’re looking for a bag just to store your red packets — this might just be it. It’s not too big, and still offers up enough storage compartments to keep everything neatly sorted.

Bag, $69.90, from Charles & Keith
image

A big fan of bags with structure? Go an extra mile with a hardy box bag. You’ll eliminate the risk of over-stuffing your purse, and you can also carry this with you on the weekend.

Bag, $3,500, from Fendi
image

The best way to show off this chilli red bag? Pair it with monochrome accessories. Plus, the the quilted Fendi logo gives you a subtle way to show off your new purse to those pesky aunties.

Bag, $1,310, from Stella McCartney
image

This cute mini bag is a surefire way to start your CNY celebrations with a bang, thanks to the statement star motif on the front. And the best news? It’ll look fab when paired with jeans or with a cocktail dress.

Bag, $1,700, from Mulberry
image

The chili padi-red shade of this Mulberry bag makes it a definite statement-maker. What this means is that you can pull back on over-accessorizing or over-styling your look and use simpler separates to let this bag stand out.

Bag, $1,500, from Balenciaga
image

Logomania doesn’t get better than with this crossbody bag from Balenciaga. By carrying this, there’s no mistaking that you’re flexing some serious street cred, and you know what’s trendy right now.

Bag, $662, from Proenza Schouler at THE OUTNET
image

Everyone loves a good drawstring bucket bag, so maybe it’s time to get acquainted with its hardier cousin: the structured bucket bag. Perfectly capable of carrying all your mandarin oranges for CNY, and your documents for work after.

Bag, $200, from Diane von Furstenberg at THE OUTNET
image

The bright tomato red gets grounded with the help of the leather strap, so you don’t have to worry about looking too “cheena”.

Bag, $2,490, from Givenchy
image

The burnished silver hardware gives this Givenchy bag a harder edge, and will play perfectly with an edgier look. Pair with ripped jeans and cool boots for that ultimate cool-girl look.

Bag, $83.90, from Pedro
image

Big bags got you bogged down? Then this clutch might suit you. With its gradient-coloured fabric strap to help punctuate the strong red colour, you can pair this with a simple shirtdress or a fancy skirt and your favourite dancing shoes.
