The genesis of "The Moon" collection can be traced back to the exquisite traditional costumes of Estonia and, in particular, a charming embroidered bonnet from the northern region. A striking feature that runs through all the pieces in the collection is the embroidery inspired by the bonnet found in the historic Heimtali manor. The cuts of the Mulk tailcoat and the North Estonian blouses with wide sleeves served as inspiration for the design of the collection. Each garment in the collection is carefully handcrafted from pure wool, giving the collection an unparalleled level of authenticity.

The whimsical name of the collection is partly an homage to a fable from Seto folklore that tells the story of the dark spots on the moon. It tells of a young man who longed to slumber in a hayloft with his beloved, but their amorous intentions were thwarted by the bright glow of the moon. It was believed that the moon had the power to bind the hearts of those who took offence to its brilliance, and to fuse their souls together for eternity. The enchanting tale serves as a fitting inspiration for this ethereal collection, giving it a dreamlike quality that will captivate any viewer.
