With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, fashion houses are all hopping with their respective capsule collections to celebrate the festive season in style, with 2023 being the Year of the Rabbit. Whether you love a collaboration with iconic bunny characters, or prefer in-house furry creations, here’s a round-up of 10 different pieces to get right now.
For starters, consider small accessories which double up as bag charms. Such as the Louis Vuitton LV Bunny Key Holder (SGD675) and Longchamp Lapin Key Ring (SGD195). Louis Vuitton’s cheeky bunny looks extra precious with a furry mink tail, while Longchamp’s rabbit nibbles playfully on a Le Pliage tote bag.
Moving on to SLGs, there are two different styles from Alexander McQueen and Givenchy. The former’s Seal Logo Cardholder (POA) is decked out in red and white with two rabbits side by side, while Givenchy cleverly partnered with Disney’s Oswald (the Lucky Rabbit) for its 4G Bifold Wallet (SGD700).
Then there are the bags and there are plenty of styles to keep an eye out for. For example, Tory Burch’s Mini T Monogram Embroidered Rabbit Square Tote (SGD1060) should do the trick for most. This roomy style features embroidered rabbits all over the felt exterior. Coach’s Lunar New Year Small Wristlet (SGD220) features a graffiti-inspired rabbit graphic atop pink polished pebble leather. At 19 cm wide and 12 cm high, this miniature clutch holds essential items like cards, cash and mobile phone. Furry rabbits, furry bags.
You can count on Loewe to deliver the Bunny Bag (SGD2750) in full shearling. The adorable creation comes complete with floppy ears and a pompon tail juxtaposed with Loewe’s long jacquard strap. Burberry has an equally head-turning creation in faux fur. The Small Lola Bag (SGD3890) makes a return with embroidered rabbits all over the front, sides and back.
There’s also the standout Bugs Bunny Crossbody Bag (SGD1515) from Moschino that will steal the show at any festive gathering. The elongated ears explain why the bag is almost 48 cm tall, complete with a grey leather sling for over-the-shoulder wear.
Rounding up the season of rabbit-inspired designer collaborations is Mulberry's Miffy Billie Bag (GBP1095). The iconic character adorns the bag that comes in a beautiful shade of Coral Orange and is too cute to resist.
