"Inspired by folk myths, we took this image as a basis, focusing on two of its features. Our monkeys, like their ancient ancestors, are inextricably linked with the forest and gain magical powers at sunset — creating cozy lighting at night. The texture is similar to the bark of a tree, which gives pleasant tactile sensations," says the founder of the brand, artist and designer Yuliya Yalanzhi.
