A Mooncake Collection Inspired by Royal Heritage

This year's mooncake collection draws inspiration from Princess Valaya Alongkorn, whose appreciation for nature, craftsmanship, and refined living serves as the foundation of the design.

The horse, symbolizing resilience, vitality, and forward momentum, takes center stage throughout the collection. Flowing golden lines represent a horse's mane in motion, while floral motifs, pearl embellishments, and a subtle chessboard pattern reference the Princess's love of gardens and chess. Finished in elegant shades of jade green, deep blue, and gold, the presentation balances the fiery energy of the Year of the Fire Horse with a sense of calm sophistication.
