[ happy year of the DRAGON ]

In less than a week’s time people across the world will be celebrating Chinese New Year – a time for celebrating with family. Money is often given as a gift in envelopes, and as red is the colour of luck and prosperity, this is traditionally used to decorate during the festivities.

The year 2012 (starting 23 January) in the Chinese Calendar is the year of the Dragon. In Asia the Dragon is a symbol of good fortune & a sign of intense power. 
Some characteristics for the people born in the Dragon year are "innovative, enterprising, brave, passionate, quick-tempered,...."

MULBERRY is giving out packs of cute red Dragon envelopes (picture above) in store from now on until after the Chinese New Year on the 23 January (click here).

Happy new year!
