The Chinese New Year has become a key date in the calendar for fashion brands worldwide. Houses like Louis Vuitton and Off-White are launching pieces specially designed for the occasion. Because the beginning of the new lunar year is the most important festival of the year for wealthy customers in the People’s Republic. Expensive gifts are also bought on this occasion. Off-White is celebrating Spring Festival 2022 without its founder Virgil Abloh for the first time. There is also a bit of optimism in the Lunar Capsule Collection.

Off-White: New Collection
Off-White’s Chinese New Year mini collection comprises eight pieces. Since its date is not based on the solar but on the lunar calendar, it does not take place on a fixed date. In 2022, the most important holiday in the People’s Republic falls on February 1st. It heralds the year of the tiger. In Chinese astrology, each year is marked by one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. This is also reflected in the Off-White capsule collection.
Of course, a T-shirt with the logo printed on it should not be missing from the line-up. The design team opted for a slim-fitting white model with a blue print. Cost point: 325 euros. A tiger is emblazoned on the right side of the chest, which in Off-White is more cuddly-sweet than proud or threatening. The same motif also adorns a bracelet (295 euros) and a key ring (245 euros) as a pendant. Both accessories are decorated in the lucky Chinese colors of red and gold.

Off-White: Prices of the collection
Off-White’s characteristic black and white, on the other hand, dominates the underwear of the collection. The boxer shorts with logo waistband are the cheapest choice of Chinese New Year pieces at a price of 95 euros and visually have the least to do with the holiday. The same applies to the two-piece mesh lingerie set for women. At 295 euros, it is already significantly more expensive. A sleep mask in orange also dances a bit out of line. It is imprinted with “For Travel” and gives hope for times when carefree travel will be possible again.
The two most expensive items in the Off-White collection are the handbags. The “Lny Optical Mini Flap Bag” in black and white costs 1,095 euros. The red “Lny Burrow-22 Shoulder Bag” is a hundred euros more. Some tracks are already available, others are available for pre-order on the label’s website.
