Seeing Red

As Chinese New Year is almost upon us, it’s time to get ready to dress our kids for the occasion! According to tradition, it’s believed that New Year’s Day sets the tone for the rest of the year (no pressure!) so it’s important to dress your little tykes in something fit to bring on the good fortune.

Red is the colour to wear during the holiday to guarantee luck and to scare away spirits of bad fortune. Gold is also a good accent colour to don in accessories or shoes. As a general rule of thumb, wearing anything brightly coloured is aligned with the festive and upbeat mood of the holiday while black and white are symbolic of mourning and bad luck.

At Retykle, we have a wide selection of kids fashion from over 200 luxury brands. We are an online platform for buying and selling high-end secondhand fashion but we carry many new with tags items too. Buying a gently used item at a fraction of the cost from high quality brands (Bonpoint, Jacadi, Dior and many more) beats shopping disposable fast fashion don’t you think? We receive new stock daily so there’s always something like-new at Retykle up to 90% off. Check out some of our picks for CNY:

She knows first-hand how many high quality items often sit in closets with their tags still on or barely worn waiting to find a new home, and started Retykle to fill that need in the market.
