Galloping Into the Year of the Horse: CNY 2026 Prints
January 2026
The Year of the Horse arrives on February 17, 2026, and our CNY collection celebrates the spirited energy of galloping forward into new beginnings.
In Chinese culture, horses symbolize freedom and vitality - the yang spirit that is bright, active, and full of life.
This year, our design team created four horse-inspired prints: one bold red, one soft pastel, one Disney collaboration, and one inclusive design. Whether you prefer something vibrant and traditional, gentle and understated, whimsical and character-driven, or symbolic and universal, we have something for every family.
