Saturday, January 28th marks Chinese New Year, and several of your favourite brands are celebrating the Year of the Rooster with limited edition pieces. Have a weak spot for annual collections? Us too. In preparing for the festivities, we’ve rounded up a few of our faves:
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II ‘Year of the Rooster’ collection
Available at select Converse retailers
Converse is celebrating the Year of the Rooster with limited run versions of its widely-popular Chuck Taylor All Star II silhouette. The high top model features a midnight blue and black rooster feather motif with a pop of colour, courtesy of those bright red eyelets. The lows feature a similar graphic but with different shades of vibrant blue, and a few splashes of red. Must-have.
Levi’s ‘Chinese New Year’ collection
Select pieces from the collection are available at Levi’s stores at Yorkdale and Sherway Gardens in Canada
$34.95 – $178.00
The Levi’s 2017 Chinese New Year collection celebrates the start of a new year with a unique collection of separates that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe. The limited-edition Year of the Rooster collection features embroidery, fun patches and splashes of red and gold on iconic Levi’s styles. Most coveted? That unisex red sweater.
Harry Rosen ‘Chinese New Year’ pocket square
Available at Harry Rosen locations across Canada and harryrosen.com
$88.00
This year Harry Rosen partnered up with renown Canadian designer Linna Xu to design their limited-edition Chinese Lunar New Year pocket square. Of course, the red and gold pocket square features a special Year of the Rooster graphic. Bonus: Only 440 were produced.
Air Jordan 12 ‘Chinese New Year’
