Exclusivity
The Year of the Dragon gis were made in extremely limited quantities and sold out in just a few minutes. The nogi set sold out pretty quickly as well, and Albino and Preto immediately offered a pre-order sale of all three items (short-sleeve rash guard, shorts, and mesh shorts) for anyone who missed out on the drop. Two days later they made the gi available for pre-order at 7AM PST on January 26 through 4PM January 29.
The year 2024 will be the Year of the Dragon (YOTD) in the Chinese zodiac.
The dragon is a revered and powerful symbol in the Chinese zodiac. Those born in the Year of the Dragon are known for their natural leadership abilities and fiery personalities.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is considered a special creature, symbolising imperial authority and acting as a guardian of treasure.
The Chinese zodiac holds significant cultural and symbolic importance, playing a crucial role in shaping beliefs and traditions throughout East Asia.
This collection by Albino & Preto and Noreen Seabrook is a celebration of the revered Chinese zodiac symbol of power and fortune.
