The Lunar New Year is fast-approaching, officially taking place on Jan. 22. This is the Year of the Rabbit. In the Chinese zodiac, according to some interpretations, the rabbit is considered the luckiest of the 12 animals symbolizing mercy, elegance and beauty.
Brands are celebrating the Lunar New Year with capsule collections that are releasing throughout January. One of the many brands with a recently minted Lunar New Year capsule collection is Kate Spade New York.
The brand teased its Lunar New Year capsule collection products on Wednesday, highlighting the fluff-embellished faux fur small bucket bag designed to look like a smiling rabbit. Details of the bag include two side flaps giving the illusion of bunny ears, a black and gold chain strap that looks like a smiling rabbit face and a small gemstone in the center of the bag to look like a rabbit’s nose.
