Caraa Unveils Year of the Horse Capsule: Red Dahlia Baby Bag, Pouch

Caraa leaned into Lunar New Year with a compact, practical capsule that foregrounds the brand’s performance credentials in a color traditionally associated with luck. The Original Report described Caraa as "known for premium, performance-minded baby bags" and said the limited Lunar New Year capsule — "the Year of the Horse edition" — features two red-Dahlia embroidered pieces: a Baby Bag Large and a Baby Pouch. New York Magazine’s product listing identifies the Baby-Pouch Lunar New Year Edition as a wristlet priced at $75 and notes it is "embroidered with a dainty horse symbol" and "perfect for storing wipes, snacks, and pacifiers."

The pouch’s embroidered horse motif and the capsule’s red-Dahlia palette position Caraa’s drop as a utility-first celebration of the zodiac rather than an ornate luxury gesture. The Original Report also wrote that the capsule "leverages seasonal cultural demand (Lunar New Year)" although the supplied text ends mid-sentence; the available materials do not provide fabrications, dimensions, or a price for the Baby Bag Large. The Nymag listing does imply direct retail availability with the purchase line "$75 at Caraa."

Caraa’s mini launch arrives amid a crowded Year-of-the-Horse field spanning high fashion, streetwear, jewelry and spirits. Tequila Don Julio partnered with Siegelman Stable to release a limited unisex capsule that includes a coaches jacket, short-sleeve tee and Siegelman Stable's signature hat, starring Ross Butler in campaign imagery; the collection is available for a limited time on SiegelmanStable.com, and PR Newswire notes "10% of net proceeds supporting The Asian American Foundation (TAAF), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting Asian American and Pacific Islander communities by promoting safety, fostering belonging and" — the excerpt truncates there. Ross Butler said, "Lunar New Year has always been a moment that connects me back to my family and my heritage. Being born in the Year of the Horse adds a personal layer to the way I celebrate this year. I love how the Tequila Don Julio limited-edition bottle and capsule collection by Siegelman Stable help celebrate tradition through a modern lens." Ari Anderman, Brand Director of Tequila Don Julio, added, "Tequila Don Julio 1942 has long been a symbol of celebration, and Lunar New Year is a perfect moment for us to come together and raise a glass. With our Year of the Horse Edition release, we're honoring the craftsmanship behind the iconic 1942 while celebrating the traditions, connections and shared moments that define this special holiday." Tequila Don Julio and Siegelman Stable also hosted a pop-up in SoHo at 430 West Broadway where guests 21+ could shop the capsule and the limited Tequila Don Julio 1942 Year of the Horse Edition on January 23–24.

Luxury houses and jewelers framed the zodiac in very different registers: Harper’s Bazaar Australia describes Burberry’s Shanghai-shot, red-grounded capsule reworking the Knight motif with watercolour, embroidery and appliqué and names ambassadors Chen Kun, Tang Wei, Wu Lei and Zhang Jingyi; Canada Goose worked with Los Angeles artist Matt McCormick on a Carmine Red palette for lightweight outerwear; Olivia Bond offered an 18-carat yellow and white gold talisman set with natural round brilliant-cut diamonds and an optional black rhodium finish "designed to be worn as a quiet talisman for prosperity, strength and bold forward movement into 2026."

On the collectible end, Whitewall Art catalogs L’Or de Jean Martell Zodiac Edition limited to 500 bottles in a Baccarat crystal decanter with a red crystal horse-head stopper, while Ashley Zhang’s Horseshoe Pendant is set with seven recycled antique diamonds and is "available only for this lunar cycle." Price markers across roundups range from Caraa’s $75 pouch to a $200 Marshall Emberton III speaker Lunar New Year edition and Wildwonder’s $195 Wild Mahjong Tiles.

Gaps remain in the Caraa reporting supplied: no materials, dimensions, inventory numbers, or a listed price for the Baby Bag Large; the Original Report contains a truncated sentence and PR Newswire’s philanthropy line is incomplete. Even so, Caraa’s red-Dahlia pouch gives the brand an accessible entry point into a year-long retail moment that spans haute collectables and street-ready drops, anchoring practicality to season-specific symbolism in a crowded Year-of-the-Horse landscape.
