The latest iteration of the Chinese New Year series welcomes 2020 as the Year of the Rat.
There are 12 Chinese Zodiac animals that cycle annually and 5 Zodiac elements (wood, fire, earth, water, metal) that cycle every two years. So, every Chinese New Year associates an animal with an element and that coupling will not repeat for another 60 years.
January 25th, 2020 ushers in a Metal Rat year, representing wealth and the beginning of a new day.
This is represented in the 12.5oz Japanese selvedge denim in the red and metallic gold selvedge ID and the Natural Veg Tan Gold Foil Emboss leather patch showing a rat breaking through a barrier, nuts and bolts flying.
The rope-dyed indigo slub yarns start with a textured surface, and will only grow more beautiful with time as the indigo fades and reveals how you’ve lived since 2020, the Year of the Metal Rat.
