Lunar New Year is fast approaching, and with it comes the mighty roar of the dragon.

01 - Bottega Veneta Teen Jodie, SGD6760
Instead of a literal take on dragons, Bottega Veneta opts for a cheeky approach by dressing the entire outline of the Teen Jodie with scale-like detailing. Even the end of the knotted flap looks like a dragon’s tail. Besides, you can’t deny that the choice of colours like Sherbert and Camomile almost bring the bag to life. BOTTEGA VENETA

02 - Coach Boxed New Year Bandit Crossbody, SGD1100
Next up, Coach takes a rather traditional approach with the dragon print on its signature glove-tanned leather Bandit Crossbody. The elaborate print appears just above the C logo clasp on the front flap. Open it to access a spacious central compartment to contain all your daily needs. COACH
