In partnership with MOYNAT, the prestigious French luxury brand, I designed a special limited edition celebrating the Year of the Snake, available at MOYNAT boutiques worldwide.
Inspired by the elegance and symbolism of the snake and the hulu (bottle gourd), this collection integrates traditional Chinese elements with MOYNAT’s signature leather craftsmanship, featuring bag charms, a cardholder, and their iconic Duo BB bag.

The hulu (葫芦) is a cherished symbol in Chinese culture, as its name is a homophone for “福禄” (blessings and prosperity), and it represents longevity and well-being. Drawing from its auspicious meaning and elegant shape, our charm series reimagines the hulu through detailed designs, each featuring different auspicious elements from Chinese culture to celebrate the Year of the Snake.
The collection features six symbolic elements: persimmons for good fortune, bamboo for resilience, the snake for renewal, the mahjong tile “fa (發)” for prosperity, traditional money patterns for wealth, and auspicious clouds with the ruyi motif for blessings and harmony.
Together, they embody the spirit of Chinese New Year, reflecting the rich cultural heritage I grew up with.
