On February 10, the Year of the Dragon will begin, and designers and craftspeople the world over have released limited-edition products to celebrate. As the only mythical animal in the Chinese zodiac, the dragon is unique – and has inspired artists for centuries. The dragon is seen to embrace power, energy and good luck. We’ve also done a round-up of edible gifts – from Lunar New Year-inspired cookies to coffee to cognac.
