THE STORY SNAKE Often referred to ‘the little dragon’ the snake is one of the most alluring and mysterious signs in the Chinese Zodiac calendar. It is said that the people born under this sign are very stylish, fashionable and have exceptional tastes. Regardless of its scary image, the snake can be a symbol of wisdom, kindness and loyalty, the good qualities processed by the Chinese legendary figure White Snake. Legend says that the Jade Emperor punished the snake by cutting its four legs and he meant to put it to death. Out of mercy the other animals pleaded to the Jade Emperor its life. The snake was spared and it regained the position and respect from people. Hence the year of snake represents flexibility, endurance and wisdom. 2013 is the Year of the Snake in the Chinese calendar. S.T. Dupont with Philippe Tournaire collaboration decided to dedicate this year to the Chinese Zodiac sign – Snake. The ST Dupont Snake Limited Edition gives this glorious creature new life through 88 writing instruments, 88 lighters and ashtrays. This unique creation is available in exceptional black Chinese lacquer. The eyes of the snake embody green emeralds and the body of the snake is made in brass with silver polish.
