In the past decade or so, it’s also been marked by limited-release merchandise from fashion’s biggest names, watchmakers, beauty brands, coffee shops and toymakers. 

From diamond-encrusted watches to individually painted ones, from ox tumblers to moisturizers, here are some of the best designs for the Year of the Ox.

Louis Vuitton
