KIPLING LOVES MINIONS Is A Lunar New Year Collection With Furry Handbags To Complete Your CNY OOTD

KIPLING LOVES MINIONS collection

With Chinese New Year coming up, many of us are already scrambling to search for a new OOTD to grace our Instagram feeds. Luckily, Kipling has just launched a Minion-themed bag collection, complete with subtle dragon details to stay on theme with the zodiac animal of the year. Now you can store all of your New Year angpaos in style during house visiting. 

The collection

The stars of this collection are undoubtedly the furry Minion bags, decked in a bright yellow palette inspired by the adorable characters. Both bags feature Kevin’s signature goggles, and each also comes with a red lining for extra huat.

Our favourite Despicable Me trio, Kevin, Bob and Stuart, are here to make a fashion statement on the black and gold bags of this collection. The designs feature their favourite food, bananas of course, to cheekily greet your guests with them instead of the typical mandarin oranges. 

Each bag also includes a light gold dragon charm and Kipling’s signature monkey.

Apart from CNY house visiting, take these chic bags with you to boost a fashion statement while shopping with your friends. The collection also features unique tote bags, perfect for carrying your barang-barang all year round.

For those who prefer minimalist designs, opt for the dragon-scale bags instead. These showcase a subtle print of dragon scales on the front, complete with a striking gold keychain for a touch of good luck.
