The collection celebrates the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, or Shēngxiào, and their distinctive characteristics and qualities. In Chinese culture, the rat is thought of as a godly creature, capable of helping humans by predicting natural disasters like earthquakes. The rat is portrayed on a new, secure, micro-dot texture, against a backdrop of peonies, one of China’s best-loved flowers. Peonies are a common theme in ancient Chinese artwork. These beautiful flowers symbolise wealth, good fortune, prosperity and happiness. People born under this sign are said to be intelligent, adaptable and optimistic.
