French luxury brand S.T. Dupont has released Year of the Dog pen and lighter collection. This limited collection includes two pens and double-flame lighters set in solid bronze and finished in dazzling yellow gold. The inspiration came from the carvings of the traditional Chinese door and a ruyi, a ceremonial sceptre in Chinese Buddhism and a talisman symbolising power and good fortune.
The Year of The Dog Ultra Exclusive Collection includes the Ligne 2 dual-flame lighter and the Neo-Classic President pen. The collection’s Ligne 2 Lighter features an elegant door motif, an interior of red lacquer and a lovely dog carving.
