Moschino marks the Lunar New Year 2026 with a special bag. The release honors the upcoming Year of the Horse. Designed by Creative Director Adrian Appiolaza, the piece is a sculptural take on the animal, mixing craft with function. It aims to capture the horse’s symbolic traits: vitality, speed, and a free spirit.

The bag is shaped like a horse. It is made from soft nappa leather, with precise cuts giving the form its three-dimensional shape. It is, essentially, a small leather sculpture. The bag opens via a gold metal clasp set into its top line. Just beneath this lies a shaped saddle in a bright red leather, a direct nod to the festive color of the celebration.

The horse’s face is detailed with character. Embroidered eyebrows, glossy eyes, and a leather patch for a tongue give the bag a playful expression. A practical note: a metal support inside the legs allows the piece to stand upright on its own. This functional detail lifts it from a simple accessory toward a surreal object.

Overall, the bag serves as both an elegant and ironic tribute. It reimagines the horse through Moschino’s particular lens of creativity and humor. It is a limited edition, available through the brand’s website, its boutiques, and select stores around the world.
