COS celebrates the 2025 Lunar New Year and Year of the Snake, a time for fresh beginnings, renewal, and opportunity, with a campaign highlighting new energy and good fortune.
The collection features limited-edition bags, bag charms and a capsule of seasonal ready-to-wear pieces in a fresh color palette.
Four repurposed leather bag charms sit at the heart of the collection, merging modern design with traditional knots, each welcoming new possibilities for the year ahead.
The charms feature hand-made decorations, each a little different from the next — elements that form the true essence of individuality. Mini bags in leather or suede complement the charms, which can be mixed and matched based on favorite color combinations or individual sentiments.

Alongside the collection, COS is collaborating with Chinese artist Amber Chen this Lunar New Year, showcasing pieces from Chen's work, The Unwrapped-Wrapper. Her intricate hand-woven jacquards, inspired by traditional Chinese techniques, evoke the beauty and complexity of family ties. Golden ivory complements abstract red and blossom-like patterns, the designs symbolizing hope and good fortune for the year ahead.
The capsule is now available for the Philippine market online and at the COS Store in SM Aura Premier.
