COS Unveils a Limited-Edition Collection for Lunar New Year
The British fashion brand joins in the Year of the Snake festivities with their limited-edition collection, along with a collaboration with artist Amber Chen
The art of storytelling through design
As the Lunar New Year approaches, a sense of anticipation fills the air, marked by family gatherings, joyous celebrations, and a deep reverence for tradition. This year, COS joins in the festivities with a limited-edition collection that creates a perfect homage to the Year of the Snake.
At the heart of this collection is a collaboration with Amber Chen, a woven textile artist known for her experiential approach to artistry. Drawing inspiration from the cultural symbolism associated with the Year of the Snake, Amber reinterprets these themes with a fresh perspective.
Each piece in the collection tells a story—an artful interplay of heritage and modernity that connects the past with the present. The collection embraces the snake’s symbolism: wisdom, intuition, and resilience.
These qualities are not merely referenced; they are woven into the fabric of each design, allowing wearers to carry this narrative with them as they step into the new year.
Small charms, big meanings
Among the standout pieces is a quartet of repurposed leather bag charms, each small yet striking. The Double Ear Knot, complemented by rose quartz, symbolizes unconditional love—a central theme of the Lunar New Year, a time to celebrate familial bonds.
The Cross Knot, featuring yellow jade, embodies prosperity and rejuvenation—qualities that resonate deeply during this period of renewal. These whimsical knots transform everyday carryalls into playful yet meaningful statements, and reminds us that even the smallest details can hold profound significance.
The ready-to-wear segment of this capsule injects a celebratory spirit without straying from COS’s signature understated elegance. A muted color palette is accented by vibrant hues, which reflects the joyful energy of the season while maintaining a sophisticated edge.
Versatility for the new year
The collection emphasizes modern silhouettes that harmonize with classic tailoring. From sumptuous knitwear to thoughtfully crafted accessories, every piece is designed to suit a wide range of occasions—may it be intimate family dinners or grand celebrations.
This Lunar New Year, COS invites us to celebrate not only with joyful aesthetics but also with deep cultural appreciation.
The limited-edition collection encourages us to embrace tradition while looking forward with hope and intention.
The collection will be available online starting this January 2025.
