Lunar New Year – Our Favourite Capsule Collections

Luck and fortune will be on the menu on February 12th! China will celebrate the Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival) under the sign of the ox, a symbol of perseverance and stability. Unlike in the West where we only celebrate the New Year, these festivities last 15 full days and end with the Lantern Festival. Twenty percent of the world's population celebrates Chinese New Year, which explains why several fashion and beauty brands offer capsule collections for the occasion. We’ve gathered our favourite products to honour the beginning of the Lunar New Year. This is especially fitting since one of the ancient traditions of this great celebration is to dress in new clothes, as a sign of good omens, new beginnings and change.

PANDORA

2021 marks the year of the ox in Chinese culture; you will find the perfect lucky charm at Pandora to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The ox is a symbol of honesty and hard work. Why not combine this charm with other pieces from the Pandora collection to bring you good luck, such as the charming Mahjong pendant with a zirconium meaning "get rich", or the lucky spinning dangle charm?
