The Year of the Horse symbolizes energy, freedom, and forward momentum, and the limited-edition Zenni Lunar New Year 2026 Collection is full of inspiring, confident, expressive eyewear styles designed in collaboration with visual artist Zipeng Zhu, also known as Mr. Dazzle.
Zenni Optical's eyewear collection celebrating the Year of the Horse introduces new styles that tie in with the key themes of 2026. Radiant Stride is a striking style with a bold frame, while Kindred better suits glasses wearers who appreciate a delicate touch and the beauty of rose gold. Customers who purchase from Zenni's limited-edition collection will get an exclusive Year of the Horse gift bag, featuring a keepsake hard-shell case, lens cloth, and drawstring pouch.
This collection marks Zenni's first collaboration with a featured Chinese artist to create special-edition Lunar New Year accessories.
