Year of the Fire Horse

The world’s top brands are celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse. The humble red packet has transcended its role as a mere vessel for lucky money to become the centerpiece of elaborate luxury gift sets. 2026’s zodiac sign—celebrated for its untamed spirit and blazing energy—has inspired a shift from simple paper stationery to tangible artifacts of culture and leisure. Hermès, synonymous with equestrian excellence, delivers a packet that unfolds to reveal a 3-D pop-up of a horse galloping, rendered in delicate watercolor strokes that capture the fluidity and grace of the animal in motion. Louis Vuitton’s red packets are presented alongside ancient blessings written on miniature scrolls, blending the Maison’s travel heritage with the solemnity of centuries-old rituals. Gucci, known for its maximalist flair, goes far beyond the envelope, presenting a full, limited-edition mahjong set encased in signature leather with the game tiles featuring subtle Fire Horse motifs.
