Salvatore Ferragamo

Perhaps one of our favourite pieces from Salvatore Ferragamo's Chinese New Year capsule collection is this incredibly detailed tiger print scarf. Yet, that's not the only treasure to be found within the collection: the brand's beautiful Studio Bag has also been ingeniously designed by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu to display the magnificent tiger. Red and pink coloured clothes, dresses, and bags are also available for those who wish to celebrate the New Year in style.
