Celebrating Chinese New Year with guest bloggers Korla Home

The Korla team are getting excited about Chinese New Year, and it’s just round the corner. Apart from the 4 days off work, there are so many other benefits…

 

Red undies…

It’s your only chance to wear red underwear without people raising an eyebrow! Its deemed good luck to wear them, so get yourself down to Takashimaya and get shopping!

 No cleaning…

 

On the first day of Chinese New Year you are not meant to clean as it’s believed you can sweep out the good luck that arrived with the holiday. Time for mums to put their feet up and take the day off!

 

Chinatown Celebrations…

 

Chinatown is where its at for the next two weeks. There are many seasonal market stalls with foods and holiday decorations. For a programme of events check out China Town to join in the celebrations. And don’t miss the fireworks.

 

Decorate your home…

 

Apart from the Duilian (chinese cuplets) decorating your door check out Korla’s range of fabrics with the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Hand-printed on natural and off-white cotton-linens, these fabrics are perfect for curtains, blinds or soft furnishings around the home. All the prints are available from Korla’s online retail store at Korla home

 

Wishing you all the best in the Year of the Snake!

 

Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai!
