Accessories can make or break an outfit – and there’s no time more crucial than the Lunar New Year to look your best and ensure a prosperous start.

Here are our top five picks of the season’s most desirable accessory collections to spice up your festive look.

1. Moynat

A Moynat tote with the favourite Lunar New Year fruit, persimmon

While the coming Year of the Dragon has inspired many accessories bearing the mythical creature, other auspicious symbols also bring good luck and prosperity.

French leather goods house Moynat presents a Chinese New Year collection featuring plump persimmon fruit and the festival’s favourite pastime, mahjong. The Duo BB Tote in Taurillon calf leather in cream is accented with a graphic illustration of the bright orange persimmon, symbolising abundance.

The collection also includes an adorable monogrammed envelope decorated with images of mahjong tiles, symbolising wealth and prosperity.

2. Montblanc

From the Signs & Symbols The Legend Zodiacs collection, Montblanc presents its artistic interpretation of the imperial beast to celebrate the new year. And the collection would not be complete without a limited edition writing instrument.

The Montblanc Signs & Symbols A Journey Among Dragons – The Hovering Dragon LE8 fountain pen is crafted using precious materials and gemstones. Created in white gold, the hand-engraved pen is accented with black, grey and blue sapphires depicting clouds and rain. More blue sapphires dot the eyes of the dragon, and a diamond cut in the shape of the Montblanc emblem crowns the pen’s cap.

Montblac dragon cufflinks in sterling silver

From the same collection is a pair of dragon cufflinks crafted in sterling silver, a design that brings to life the fierce form of the dragon.
