Younger generations across the Chinese mainland are openly celebrating prosperity-driven aspirations through creative consumer goods in 2025. Art toy designers have tapped into this cultural shift by crafting mahjong-inspired accessories featuring the traditional green dragon – a centuries-old symbol of fortune – now reimagined as whimsical bag charms and keychains.
This year's popular collections blend nostalgic symbolism with modern aesthetics, incorporating globally recognized animals like pandas and viral internet sensations such as capybaras. Analysts note these items reflect a broader societal trend where financial ambition is increasingly viewed as compatible with creative self-expression, particularly among urban millennials and Gen Z consumers.
