luxes looks for chinese new years
It’s the Year of the Snake, you know what that means? It's time to celebrate!
For those unfamiliar with the Lunar New Year, each animal representative symbolises different hopes, prayers and ambitious for the year ahead, with the Year of the Snake representing hopes for happiness and good luck–which is exactly how we hope that everyone's feeling this Chinese New Year.
But the thought of a snake also brings a few other things to mind: Snakes are sleek, powerful and agile. So this Lunar New Year we wanted to highlight a few retail goods that we feel fit the bill of a snake, while also highlighting a few of our luxe, high-end options to celebrate the affluent, luxurious Chinese high-end fashion market.
Here's a few of our favourites:
