The Chinese are super excited about the upcoming year of dragon, because dragons are considered a good omen in our traditions, so everyone is rushing to get married or have kids this year. Want to catch up with the fad in Chinese New Year? How about jazzing up your look with some funky yet auspicious accessories? Here’s a few of my favourite picks:

Vicious Venom’s red convertible wallet/pouchette, which could be used as a wallet and a shoulder bag, makes the most versatile piece during the holidays! Red and gold are usually worn during Chinese festivals and weddings, and the pouch, made of luxurious Italian leather and Thai silk, comes with its very own gold chain so that you can easily make the switch for a different look in family gatherings.


Marielle Byworth for Marijoli’s gold plated Rowma bracelet has a similar feel to a gladiator’s cuff, which will make the perfect lucky shield in completing your festive look.
