Lunar New Year Traditions

Lunar New Year is one of the biggest events enjoyed in Asian culture, commemorated by more than 20 per cent of the world’s population. The festivity involves 15-days dedicated to family reunion, marked by a New Year’s Eve dinner where gifts are exchanged to reminisce and conclude the year whilst optimistically welcoming a new one.

Complimentary Red Envelope (Hóng Bāo)

Alongside all purchases for Lunar New Year products, a complimentary Red Envelope (Hóngbāo) will be provided to Koko Black customers. Essential to the gifting tradition, the Hóngbāo signifies good fortune for the year ahead.
