Luxury gifts for the Year of the Dragon
The Chinese New Year is celebrated by cultures across the globe and this year retailers in Multrees Walk Edinburgh are inviting shoppers to celebrate The Year of the Dragon in style.
The Lunar New Year is a time for joy and celebration and is also an opportunity for many to buy gifts that represent good fortune and blessings.
A symbol of good luck, strength and prosperity, the dragon represents a hopeful year ahead. From beautifully designed dragon motifs to an abundance of red – a colour that represents luck, joy, and happiness in Chinese culture – Multrees Walk has curated a Lunar New Year gift guide to help celebrate the Chinese New Year.
The dragon motif has been adopted by several fashion brands to help bring in the Year of the Dragon in style:
