Yes - a myriad of brands are offering horse-themed capsules, and some of them are actually quite fun. So we've rounded up some of the more worthy to invest in, to help start this new Chinese year off with a bang.

As the introspective Year of the Snake draws to a close (have you shed what you needed to get rid of yet?), we welcome the Fire Horse—a dynamic convergence that appears only once every sixty years. Beginning February 17th, this rare celestial alignment brings with it an energy that is bold, brave, and optimistic.
In Chinese tradition, the horse symbolises far more than speed; it represents vitality, perseverance, and the swift arrival of success, captured in the auspicious phrase mǎ dào chéng gōng (马到成功), literally "success comes swiftly like a galloping horse." For fashion, this means collections that channel not just the equestrian motif, but the Horse's deeper essence: freedom, momentum, and an unstoppable drive toward new horizons.
As fashion brands unveil their Horse-themed capsules, the question isn't merely who has rendered the most beautiful bridle or bit—it's who has truly understood that this is a year about harnessing one's potential, taking decisive action, and leading by example with passion and heart.
The French brand helmed by Alexandre Mattiussi unveils a Chinese New Year capsule collection, Wild Spark, envisioned as a nostalgic yet joyful capsule of knitwear, shirts and jersey pieces designed for both men and women. The colour palette is inspired by nature and wild meadows, sunset lights and a feeling of liberty, with shades from ochre and camel to burgundy and evergreen.Yes, it features this year’s zodiac animal, the horse, either in a patchwork on shirts, or as the centerpiece on cardigans and sweaters.
Purveyors of British-made leather goods, why not indulge in a horse bag charm as a fun reminder to kick into gear every day.
Puiforcat, the historic French silversmith house founded in Paris in 1820, renowned for its craftsmanship and Art Deco–influenced luxury silverware (and owned by Hermes), has interpreted the year of Horse on its silver tumbler. Handengraved in their own workshop, this is a special edition adorned with engravings of the twelve signs imagined by Korean designer and artist Jin Kwon
From scarves, costume jewellery, tshirts and more, the brand that still attracts lineups outside its London doors is offering several "horse themed" pieces. How many people want to wear horse-themed tshirts is unbeknownst to us, but Westwood diehards may be enamoured.
Each year, the Dior Grand Soir collection explores a sign from the lunar calendar through a unique piece. To celebrate the Year of the Horse, the dial of this limited edition design is a play on the Toile de Jouy motif, with the horse threading through a precious enchanted forest, created in mother-of-pearl, gold and colorful stones.
