Style Edit: Furla’s Year of the Horse bags blend symbolism and Chinese New Year style

Lunar New Year in Hong Kong has its own canter: busy days visiting friends, cosy nights at the family dinner table, and a delight in all things auspicious. Furla’s 2026 Lunar New Year Collection approaches the Year of the Horse with just that cadence in mind, filtering the Chinese zodiac through Italian design discipline and a precise edit of bags and charms.

Rather than leaning on overt motifs, the collection works with texture, colour and proportion to suggest movement and luck. The Iride Mini Hobo appears in a saturated “gemstone red” leather, a shade that nods to traditional Lunar New Year crimson while reading clean and contemporary against winter tailoring. Its hardware – a diamond-cut take on Furla’s arched logo – brings a small flash of light to the shoulder, while an adjustable strap keeps the silhouette easy from day to dinner. Paired with the Allegra leather pony charm, it becomes a low-key emblem of the Year of the Horse: playful but polished.
