You know the drill, collecting red packets (or, giving them out) has to be one of the most prominent rituals during the Lunar New Year festivities — and you’ll want an appropriate bag for the occasion. It could be something smaller in size to differentiate from your all-purpose work totes, one that doubles up as clutch and crossbody for versatility throughout the day, or a softly-structured style that signals casual-chic. We’ve got just the thing.
Ahead, our list of 8 dream bags perfect for CNY, complete with trendy ruched details and relaxed dumpling or bao-inspired silhouettes, for all kinds of budgets. For those who’d like to up the traditional Chinese inspiration a little more, there’s even a cute mini bag inspired by old-school tiffin carriers. Shop away!
