Lunar New Year Celebration Time

Lunar New Year Celebration Time

Lets celebrate, it’s THE LUNAR NEW YEAR!

And there is cause to celebrate as it ‘s the year of the Pig: a year of fortune and luck!

Lunar New Year is the beginning of a year whose months are coordinated by the cycles of the moon, accounting to a purely lunar calendar or a lunisolar calendar. The year of the Pig occupies the last (12th) position in the Chinese Zodiac. You are a “Pig Chinese Zodiac native” if you are born in one of these years: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019 .

2019 is a great year to make money, and a good year to invest!

Befitting enough, not that long ago, we launched our latest Lunar Collection, featuring detachable and interchangeable straps and top folds so you can mix and match your bags, making them incredibly versatile, fun and a great investment 😉 Can you believe one bag has up to 8 different looks!!!

Chinese New Year runs from January 21 to February 20. In 2019, it’s official date occurs on February 5th. Here’s a full list of dates and events for the Chinese New Year calendar.

This Spring Festival is a time for celebration, renewal and to let happiness and fortune prosper. There are also a whole schedule of tradition activities around the festival. For example here is a list of 10 things to avoid during the CNY celebrations.

All activities associated with the Spring Festival are embedded with the purpose of removing the old and welcoming the new. New is considered auspicious and provides protection from evil spirits and bad luck. Well we can’t argue that!

To continue celebrating the launch of our Lunar collection and Chinese New Year, here are some tips on how to celebrate the festivities with some Hills & West flair.

So, when browsing what to wear for Chinese New Year, go for red. It’s considered the best colour for the occasion. Also, stay away from black and white, as they are unlucky and negative during this time of year. Other times of year they are of course stylish and chic 😉

We have included two Hills & West favourites for you to choose from…

1. The Lunar Max in red. Quite fitting no?

We’ve included some pics to inspire you on how to style, wear and adjust to suit your needs.

2. The Lenny Bright Belt Bag in red is perfect for carrying hands-free as you join in on the festivities, whether you’re out dancing or at home with loved ones. You can carry all of your essentials with comfort and ease and add some bright into you outfit.

Also, with good fortune in mind our Petite Purses in Gold & Rose Gold are also a treat. This flexible little purse can carry your cards, keys, cash and favourite lippy all in one go.

It is often considered better luck to buy or be given new clothes and accessories as gifts from family. This is seen a sign of a fresh start and the luck increases if you wear your new pieces on New Year’s Day. Although, we do encourage that you treat yourself also 😉

Some of our pieces that are popular as gifts for their understated elegance and neutrality are:
