Chinese New Year Limited Edition

Artistic collaboration Hennessy × Shuting Qiu

2025 | China & Worldwide Travel Retail | Spirits
About the Collaboration

A fusion of fashion and luxury

In a fusion of fashion and luxury, the ‘Reimagination’ collection celebrates the snake as a symbol of renewal and transformation. The collaboration, with the Chinese fashion designer Shuting Qin, brings three distinct carafe designs for Hennessy VSOP, X.O and Paradis, each infused with vibrant jacquard-inspired patterns, floral motifs and abstract snake scales. A couture double-sided tapestry artwork completes the collection.

This artistic collaboration unites the heritage of Hennessy with Shuting Qiu’s modern romantic fashion language. The snake, emblematic of renewal, flows across the bottles through vivid textile-inspired graphics. It bridges tradition, fashion and the celebratory spirit of the Lunar New Year.

Inspired by the symbolism of the snake, and by the textures of jacquards, brocades and embroideries, Qiu created designs echoing movement, transformation and rebirth.

"The Hennessy carafes are classics, as in fashion, where every brand has classic silhouettes, unique designs, and colors."
