Year of the Horse Packaging: More Than Just "Drawing a Horse"

       
In the visual systems of luxury brands, the horse is never a temporary zodiac symbol, but a well-established brand language:
  • Hermès: Originating from saddlery and reins, the horse is the starting point of the brand’s spirit.
  • Burberry: The equestrian-inspired motifs have long been embedded in its brand DNA.
  • Ralph Lauren, Coach, Etro: The horse symbolizes aristocratic sports, strength and order.

The horse embodies three core values:
  1. Heritage and Legacy – The horse was a symbol of aristocratic lifestyles prior to the industrial era.
  2. Restrained Expression of Strength – Graceful control, rather than beastly flamboyance.
  3. Systematic Visual Element – The horse’s lines and postures are easily stylized and can be extended to different materials and carriers.
Therefore, the key to Year of the Horse packaging lies not in "drawing a horse", but in systematic design and implementation capabilities.
    
As a packaging item that accompanies consumers for the long term, dust bags need to meet the following criteria:
  • The horse motif subtly echoes the logo, rather than dominating the visual focus
  • Timely for the festive year, yet timeless enough to remain tasteful for three years
  • Patterns adapted to flexible materials, drawstring structures and various sizes

This is why when luxury brands select suppliers, they focus not only on design capabilities, but also on long-term delivery capacity, color difference control and an understanding of the brand’s spirit.
