These days, most hongbao arrive with a notification sound. A WeChat ping. An Alipay transfer. Digital confetti on your screen.

But before the QR codes and group chats, there was the physical red envelope, 红包 (hóngbāo), 利是 (lai see), ang pau (âng-pau), crisp paper, gold foil stamping, embossed characters, textured stock you could actually feel.

Originally rooted in Chinese New Year and special occasions like weddings and graduations, the red envelope tradition began in China and spread across Southeast Asia and diaspora communities worldwide. The money inside mattered. But so did the design.

Are you team digital transfer or team paper hongbao?

Everyone is hungry during the New Year so ESENES (@esenes.ww) knew exactly what to drop.

The brand behind those viral Cufant clogs and “Loose Screw” hats is back at it, this time with a limited-edition accessory that looks good enough to eat. Made from genuine translucent leather with a “dumpling filling” canvas lining inside, it’s playful, irreverent, and undeniably ESENES.

With only 150 pieces to exist, dropping 2/20 for $150, this might be hard to get your hands on.

Inspired by Everything Everywhere All at Once, the set comes with a wooden carrying case stamped with the iconic googly eye, 160 black tiles engraved with custom icons, racks, dice, the whole multiverse.

Would you play this or keep it boxed for the aesthetic?

Creative networking mixer, plenty of coffee and drinks, and a spot of bingo — all in Bangkok.

We had a blast being part of the CALIBRADIIATORS event, held at coffee shop, bar, and de facto creative hub Cosmo Vibrators (@cosmovibrators) in the Ekkamai area, co-hosted by content and recruitment platform CALIBRE CAREERS (@calibrecareers).

Designed as an easy way to practice pitching yourself as a creative, the mixer was a great opportunity to learn what everyone does while learning how to present what you do more concisely. Banter was key; new friends were the takeaway. We can’t wait to do it again.

Thanks to everyone who came out. Drop your work or personal handle in the comments for a cheeky shoutout to your own brand.
