Real Bristol is celebrating the Chinese New Year with the launch of its new 'Year of the Tiger' capsule. The concise collection consists of three tiger-themed items, including rugs, hoodies, and long-sleeves. A definite standout, the new rugs present a contemporary twist on traditional Tibetan Tiger carpets, which were used for ceremonial purposes in the past. The rugs come in two colorways -- a natural orange and a dark grey -- and are designed to mimic the shape of a tiger lying flat on its stomach. Meanwhile, apparel items are delivered with a rounded graphic featuring a tiger print and F.C. Real Bristol branding. Currently, the entire collection is set to drop on SOPH's website and select retailers on January 15.
