Virgil Abloh-owned streetwear label Off-White has announced the launch of a new accessories collection designed to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Appropriately titled the 'Year of the Tiger,' the concise collection includes a range of limited-edition items for both women and men.
Standout pieces include an iconic Off-White-branded t-shirt with a happy tiger icon, a pair of black-and-white checkered boxer briefs, and a patterned orange sleep mask. In addition, women's items include mesh lingerie, a black-and-white 'Optical Mini Flap' bag, and a red 'Burrow-22' shoulder bag.
According to the company, “the capsule incorporates the Chinese zodiac tiger as the special icon, aiming to welcome the reunion and accompany the journey.” The entire Year of the Dragon collection is currently available for purchase on Off-White's website.
