Just launched: Love, Bonito’s Lunar New Year Collection and a new Philippines website

This Lunar New Year, Love, Bonito seeks to honor all kinds of modern reunions in an era where family gatherings look vastly different for everyone. Whether through long-distance virtual calls or intimate gatherings, the Year of the Dragon will be celebrated by paying homage to our Asian heritage through Eastern-inspired silhouettes, twinning looks, and coordinated family ensembles. Plus, customers can now enjoy shopping with the brand via its new Philippines website (lovebonito.com/ph) where they can view pricing in Pesos, enjoy new and convenient payment options like GCash, and redeem specially curated gifts, including the Fortune Red Packets, Scarlet Tissue Box Holder and Gratitude Chopsticks. 

The Ties that Bind Us

Reunions can come in varied forms, from multicultural families, resilient single moms, or even those that carry the weight of loss – but with the breaking of norms comes the strengthening of ties and the unwavering importance of familial bonds. Featuring styles designed in intricate knots and strappy details, each outfit exudes the symbolism of unity through auspicious colours, exclusive in-house embroidery Opulent Florals, and brocade textiles Heirloom Botanicals, and Rekindled Blooms.

The one-and-done Yuri Asymmetric Drape Midaxi Dress is a modern take on the traditional cheongsam, with her draped neckline and full-length elegance, ideal for first day formalities. The embodiment of good luck and joy, Yanna Mandarin Collar Romper is a stunning piece to wear with its Mandarin collar, waist-cinching fixed sash, shorter length, and side pockets for angbaos. Style them with gold accessories for extra bling and a pair of comfort sandals or statement sneakers to accompany you through day-long home visits. 

Honour your generational bonds with mother-daughter twinning fits and matching family looks! For the modern trendsetters, defy fashion norms with darker shades with Mina Padded Tweed Mandarin Collar Jumpsuit or Mira Knit Midi Dress instead of typical reds for a chic look that transcends beyond the season. Not forgetting our mini-mes, the Jian Mandarin Collar Puff Sleeve Blouse and Anya Tie Back Midi Dress are inspired by jade and porcelain and interpreted to suit you and your little girl. For a group matchy-matchy, the brand is launching both mens and kids wear options in brocade fabric Rekindled Blooms for this special occasion.
