Iconic brand Gucci celebrates the Chinese New Year with its capsule 'Chinese Exclusive' collection.
This intricate designer line features a clutch, handbag and shoulder bag all in bright red patent leather. The designs are made to resemble the little red envelopes children and adults receive upon the New Year. Avoiding the cliche horse design already done by many designers also honoring this Eastern tradition, Gucci stuck to using the horse bit design while featuring colors synonymous with the Chinese culture like red and gold which mean luck and fortune. Adding to its already Chinese targeted audience, these bags will only be exclusively available for China.
The 'Chinese Exclusive' collection is bound to have Eastern women looking fabulous during all their New Year celebrations.
