This Year of the Blue Dragon, the Lunar New Year, a national holiday, approaches once again. Lunar New Year gifts for loved ones and acquaintances aim to convey wishes for happiness throughout the year, not missing out on either attractive design or practicality. We suggest special two-in-one Lunar New Year gift items that add luxury and style along with functionality.

As the long journey home is expected again this year, for those who need to pack for days away from home, we recommend the MCM Himmler Loretos Drawstring Backpack. It is convenient to carry in two ways even with a lot of luggage, thanks to the fabric shoulder straps that can be worn on the back and the leather handle. The Loreto monogram with the signature emblem design catches the eye.

Louis Vuitton's iconic travel bag, the Keepall 55 Bandouliere, offers ample space for a week's luggage and comes in various sizes from 45 to 60. In particular, the Keepall 55 size is suitable for carry-on, adding practicality not only for the Lunar New Year but also for various trips.

For those who wish to separate their packed items and personal belongings, MCM's LIZ Maxi Monogram Leather Shopper Bag, which includes a shopper bag and a leather zipper pouch, is ideal. It emphasizes convenience by allowing for the storage of personal items and other luggage in the shopper bag, while essential items like wallets or cards can be kept in the pouch with a handle. For minimalists who prefer to carry only the essentials, we suggest mini bags as a Lunar New Year gift, featuring both small, cute sizes and designs.

Another mini bag, the Himmler Embossed Logo Leather Crossbody Wallet, features a detachable leather crossbody strap for practicality, with interior zipper pockets and compartments, making it perfect for gifting.

The Chanel Velvet Enamel Gold Metal & Black Mini Flap Bag, with its charming button resembling a flower, offers ample space for essentials despite its small size, enhanced by various versions of chain straps adding luxury.

During the Lunar New Year holiday or any extended time away from home, items that are easy to carry and useful are popular as gifts. The MCM Ode to Perfume Deluxe Necklace Set, combining cute Stark Backpack Bottle Pendants with jewelry and fragrance, offers a true wearable scent, serving as a point accessory that can be carried lightly and allows for enjoying one's own fragrance anytime, anywhere.

The Gucci quilt fabric bucket hat, with its matching tone leather patches, fits any time, place, and fashion with its versatile black color and Gucci's signature emblem in gold tone, making it a practical Lunar New Year gift.
