Vespa has launched the limited-edition Vespa 946 Dragon jacket. The company claims that it “brings its distinctive Italian edge on the road, harnessing the power of the dragon, a mythological creature that holds unparalleled force and is regarded as an omen of prosperity, with a dedicated Lunar New Year celebration event in Hong Kong on January 24.”
The Vespa 946 is reimagined in a golden hue for the Dragon collector’s edition, embodying the spirit of the scooter. Available in a limited run of 1888 items, the model is emblazoned with a vibrant emerald green dragon motif that snakes around the livery.
Hand-crafted in Italy and leveraging technology, the design of the Vespa 946 Dragon marks a coming together of cultures, innovation and sophistication, telegraphing a distinct sense of energy and power.
To commemorate the launch and pay homage to the Lunar New Year, Vespa is also releasing its inaugural fashion item. The Dragon Varsity Jacket celebrates the legendary status of the iconic scooter and reflects its signature combination of style and legacy.
Drawing from the Vespa 946 Dragon’s design, the ribbed wool and nappa leather-sleeved varsity jacket features a dragon motif in emerald green alongside prints and embroideries on the left pocket and back panel. The jacket’s front panel features Vespa’s V monogram accompanied by an ancient Chinese proverb.
