This adorable collection makes us even more excited to celebrate the Year of the Rat, and rightly so. The Italian luxury house's Chinese New Year collection features the world’s most famous mouse—the iconic Walt Disney mascot, Mickey Mouse. Classic pieces such as monogrammed coats and fitted plaid wool shirts with extended collars are restyled sporting Mickey Mouse and a vintage Mini GG pattern to keep the ensemble timeless with a sophisticated level of camp. Minnie Mouse even makes an appearance on a vibrant, summer-ready, lightweight cotton bowling shirt—perfect for those of us who are celebrating in a warmer climate.

To commemorate the Year of the Rat, Moncler refashioned their iconic logo by inverting the Moncler House and alternating the composition to illustrate a mouse. The mouse was kept simple with beady eyes, whiskers and a button nose to hold true with Moncler's monochromatic theme. However, the collection subtly manifests the essence of prosperity and affluence through red and gold flares which accent the black and white palette. You'll be able to wear the brand's Chinese New Year mascot on five different garments including a curved peak hat, a classic cream puffer jacket with a fur-trimmed hood, a two-toned bomber and two T-shirts.

To keep things feminine and demure, Chloé released their Chinese New Year 2020 collection that is all about light and vibrant hues. British artist and illustrator Julie Verhoeven worked with the brand to create an exclusive rat motif that is an apt representation of the playful spirit at the heart of the French luxury brand. The motif is painted in a blend of rainbow-bright hues and can be found on T-shirts, the Sonnie sneaker, the mini Chloé C and other leather goods.

Cartier has also launched a special accessories capsule collection for Chinese New Year that includes a rollerball pen, key rings and even a wooden box that you could use to keep dainty jewellery pieces.

What better way to ring in Chinese New Year than with Shang Xia, the Chinese brand backed by French luxury fashion house Hermès.

Fun fact: a version of the Lan Yue in black leather and silver-tone metal from the spring/summer 2019 collection was recently acquired by the iconic V&A. 

Loved our Chinoiserie theme at last year's Singapore Tatler Ball? This might excite you. Shanghai Tang has collaborated with Raffles City Singapore to launch a pop-up store at the mall for the first stop of its Asian city tour. Keep the holiday traditions sacred this Lunar New Year and go for one of the storied brand's signature silk cheongsams or cardigans accented with contrast sleeves and industrial zips.

Take on the Year of the Rat with an abundance of positivity, by incorporating lots of bright, auspicious red tones into your outfits. Salvatore Ferragamo has released a special collection that includes bags and accessories befitting of Chinese New Year. The popular—and very feminine—Vara shoulder bag, featuring its signature bow on the front, and the Vara mini bag come in bright red, and this festive colour remains a strong theme throughout the rest of the collection. The Italian house has also created a beautiful red silk scarf illustrated with floral blossoms. If you're looking for something simple and new for your wardrobe, the clutches, wallets and phone case come in solid black with a hint of red as well as a stylised house logo. But of course, anyone who's willing to make a sartorial statement should definitely strut in a pair of full red sneakers, emblazoned with the iconic Gancini logo in gold with black shoelaces.
