Olympian City are made from premium ISO14001-certified 100% recycled paper to
highlight the mall’s mission to promote a sustainable lifestyle. Carrying a
gold pressed design with the Chinese character “blessing” in the middle, which
is inspired by window carvings in traditional Chinese architecture, the red
envelops exude oriental flavours in a minimalist manner. The octagonal design

on the top right corner is straightforward and aligned with the modern
simplicity of the overall design.
