Year Of The Dragon Bags, Clothes & Accessories To Welcome CNY With A Roar

The Year of the Dragon is fast approaching, and it's that time of the year to start your CNY prep. The dragon represents good luck, strength, health, and also the male element Yang. And with that in mind, you can bet brands are rolling out their own interpretations of the dragon — from yu sheng to outfits and accessories. If it's the latter you're looking for, scroll down for our curation of Year of the Dragon bags, outfits and jewellery that are set to bring on the huat this new year.

1. Tory Burch

Tory Burch has the cutest capsule collection to usher in the Dragon Year, including a mini dragon-shaped bag (that's also sporting its own mini bag), as well as espadrilles dressed in adorable illustrations of the mystical creature. Or if you prefer something more subtle, go for the Eleanor bag with a dragon in pave crystals woven around the brand's logo.

$440 for a mini wallet to $1,420 for the Eleanor satin rectangular bag. Shop here

2. Maison Q

The star print of Maison Q's Lunar New Year series is its Courageous Miss Dragon print, with dainty dragons coiling around and popping out of a scalloped background. They're also designed to coil like a figure eight for extra auspicious flair. Some of the kids’ designs are reversible too — that's one less outfit you need to get.

3. Swatch

Swatch is ringing in the Dragon year with striking watches sporting exuberant dragon illustrations that'll add vibrance to any outfit. Take your pick from auspicious red and gold colourways, or more subdued tones like blue, black and white.

4. Kate Spade New York

From roomy tote bags to an eye-catching printed dress, Kate Spade New York's got chic options if you're looking to sport the Zodiac animal. Or keep it understated with the Dazzling Dragon accessories starring gold-toned dragons and lustrous pearl embellishments.

From $190 for a Dazzling Dragon ring, available at Kate Spade New York stores.

5. Max Mara

Max Mara's Lunar New Year 2024 presents a magical tale of adventure of Max the Dragon and his constant companion Little Ted as they journey through the land of Fjords and wildflower meadows. Expect a vibrant palette of red, and floral prints reminiscent of Scandinavian wildflower gardens — peer closely and you'll find mini dragons woven into the print. The collection runs the gamut from crimson sweaters to dresses, blouses and brooches.

Available at Max Mara stores.

6. Tod's

White and burgundy are the predominant colours of Italian house Tod's limited edition CNY capsule collection, with a double dragon pattern seen throughout. There's a leather and fabric shopping bag, where the dragon pattern shows up on the internal leather pouch, as well as three styles of shoes, which showcase the pattern in the insoles. The styles include the iconic Gommino Bubble, the latest sneaker and the rubber sole loafer.

Available at selected Tod's boutiques and on Tod's website.

7. Hegen

Mother and baby brand Hegen's new limited Hegen Dragon Feeding Bottle comes emblazoned with a dragon print, which signifies the hope for young ones to be fearless and soar to greater heights, while the feeding collar is in a cheery yellow to fuel their curiosity and zest for the adventures that lie ahead.

$35 for a 240ml bottle. Shop here.

8. Lululemon

Sporting a vibrant festive hue, Lululemon's Lunar New Year Align Tank Top is set to be a mood booster for your workouts. In a nod to subtlety, the tank top doesn't bear any dragon illustration — instead, it draws inspiration from the shapes and curves formed by overlapping dragon scales.

$128. Shop here.

9. Coach

 Coach has given its signature Rogue 25 bag, as well as its Bandit wallet an auspicious flair with an intricately designed dragon in shades of red and pink. The same motif is also seen on other pieces, including a bucket hat, and a hoodie.

$220 to $1,600. Shop here.

10. Kenzo

Kenzo's capsule collection for the Year of the Dragon sees vibrant wardrobe staples and accessories — yes, even kids' clothes — embroidered with the mystical creature. Think bombers, cardigans, dresses, pouches and key rings, all in a striking palette with colours like red, brilliant yellow, black and green.

$430 for the leather pouch to $825 for the cardigan. Shop here.
