Among the many customs that mark Chinese New Year, which falls next Tuesday, dressing in striking red clothing is one of the most prominent. Why not go red from head to toe with bags and other accessories?

As the Chinese zodiac wheel turns from the dog to the pig -- the twelfth and final animal sign -- many items will feature porcine designs, symbolising fortune and wealth. Footwear featuring lucky pigs and piglets will allow you to step auspiciously into the Lunar New Year.
