3 Ways to Prepare for Smooth Journeys on the road as You Glide into Prosperity with Cycle & Carriage

Get your ride ready to go the distance and bring you continuous prosperity in the Year of the Snake

As you glide into the Year of the Snake, it brings with it the promise of transformation, wisdom, and smooth transitions. In Chinese culture, the snake symbolises precision, elegance, and adaptability; qualities that set the tone for a prosperous and harmonious year ahead. To align with these energies, here are a few ways you can prepare for a seamless and exceptional journey on the road in preparation for the Chinese New Year festivities, courtesy of Cycle & Carriage.

#1: Start the New Year with A Stylish Coat

The Year of the Snake marks a time of transformation and renewal, making it the perfect opportunity to give your beloved Mercedes-Benz the makeover it deserves. Just as a snake sheds its skin to reveal a polished exterior, refresh your vehicle’s appearance with a paint touch-up or even a fresh coat to bring you more ‘ong’ in 2025.

Those looking to touch up can opt for Cycle & Carriage Express Spray Paint that can restore your Mercedes-Benz to its original brilliance, bringing back that glossy finish that makes a lasting impression when you head home for family visitations.  For those considering a fresh coat of paint, choosing the year’s auspicious colours like silver, midnight blue, red and green is a great way you can amplify your ‘ong’ and align your car with the energies of renewal and prosperity.

#2: Keep Your Every Journey as Fluid as a Snake’s Motion with New Tyres

In Feng Shui, smooth movement is essential for cultivating good fortune and achieving life’s goals. Your car plays a significant role in ensuring that your journey through the year is uninterrupted and filled with positive energy especially during the Lunar New Year. One pivotal aspect of your car is its tyres, especially on long road trips back to your hometown.

While many believe tyres should be changed after a certain number of years or mileage, tyre condition is actually more dependent on road conditions, weather, and driving style. Before hitting the road this year, make sure to have your tyres checked. To ensure uninterrupted journeys on the road, consider taking your Mercedes-Benz to the nearest Cycle & Carriage for a tyre check and tyre replacement to protect you from unexpected road hazards, ensuring your travels remain as fluid and efficient as the snake’s graceful glide. From tyre rotation and balancing to nitrogen gas refills and alignment, each service is tailored to support the harmony and reliability of your vehicle. Now you would not have to worry about taking your car out in any weather or road conditions.

#3: Ensure Peak Performance for Uninterrupted Travels

Known for their precision, snakes move with accuracy and intent. In the same way, maintaining your car’s performance is essential for a successful year ahead. A clean engine is the foundation of smooth and efficient journeys, but the engine valve is often overlooked. To ensure that your year-long journeys are efficient and effortless, consider getting your engine valve cleaned with Cycle & Carriage’s advanced engine valve cleaning services. By removing carbon buildup and optimising engine performance, this service ensures that every drive is as smooth as the snake’s effortless movements, keeping you on the path to achieving your goals with ease.

As you prepare for the festive season, you won’t have to worry about wasting your precious time while getting your car ready. With the Star Lounge available at any Cycle & Carriage branch, you can make the most of your visit. Whether you want to relax with a cup of coffee, catch up on work, or hold meetings in a comfortable space, the Star Lounge provides the perfect setting. While your car is being cared for, you can enjoy a hassle-free experience where convenience, comfort, and prosperity align, ensuring a smooth start to the Year of the Snake.

1664 BLANC BRINGS FRENCH ARTISTRY TO VIETNAM WITH ITS TÊT FESTIVE EDITION

1664 Blanc VN X Dimitri Rybaltchenko

1664 Blanc Vietnam celebrates Têt 2025 with a collaboration featuring French artist Dimitri Rybaltchenko. His vibrant artwork reimagines iconic Têt symbols through a blend of French elegance and Vietnamese tradition. Managed by Somexing Art Agency, this partnership highlights the fusion of local culture codes and modern artistry, emphasizing Vietnam’s growing role as a hub for global brands.

In Asia, 1664 Blanc is celebrated for its chic and refined brand identity, seamlessly blending French playful elegance with the Art de Vivre, and position as a leader in premium beer culture across Asia. For the festive edition 2025, Dimitri drew inspiration from the traditions of the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. Têt, one of Vietnam’s most significant celebrations, symbolizes the arrival of spring and is a time for renewal, family gatherings, and paying homage to ancestors, incorporating iconic motifs like hoa mai (yellow apricot blossoms) and hoa đào (peach blossoms) – symbols of happiness and prosperity.

1664 Blanc VN X Dimitri Rybaltchenko – Packaging

At the heart of the artwork is a Parisian Ferris wheel transformed into a dazzling, colorful wheel of fortune invoking the themes of luck, hope, and renewal, central to the Têt festivities. Surrounding the wheel are vintage-inspired glossy flowers in full bloom, symbolizing new beginnings, while the palette of bold colors with hints of gold celebrates the joy and vitality of the season.

Somexing’s Art Collaboration Expertise

This collaboration exemplifies the agency’s expertise in selecting the perfect artist to combine the brand’s identity with the local cultural identity through art. Somexing curated the artist, adapted the original artwork for packaging, and produced an array of branded content to bring this artistic collaboration to life across several consumer touchpoints.

A Campaign Engaging Consumers Offline to Online The 2025 Festive Edition campaign by
1664 Blanc Vietnam was brought to life through outdoor events and digital channels activation, delivering an immersive and interactive experience to its audience. Representations of the wheel from Dimitri Rybaltchenko’s artwork have been installed across the country, inviting followers to join in the festivities. Fans are encouraged to capture and share their moments – posing in front of the wheel or presenting a limited-edition product – using the campaign hashtag #Mo1664BlancVuiTetBatNgo.

Vietnam’s growing role as a hub for global brands Vietnam has rapidly emerged as a dynamic market in Southeast Asia, driven by its robust economic growth and youthful, forward-looking population. As a country deeply rooted in tradition yet open to global influences, Vietnam offers a unique opportunity for brands like 1664 Blanc to connect with an audience that values both cultural heritage and modern innovation. By partnering with Dimitri Rybaltchenko, 1664 Blanc Vietnam not only honors the rich traditions of Têt but also reinforces its commitment to participating in the cultural and economic evolution of Vietnam.
