'Rather than merely blending traditional garments with modern design, this collection aims to reintroduce the ancient Mongolian clothing culture-an inseparable part of our great history and cultural heritage-to the contemporary world and share it on a global stage. Drawing inspiration from the attire of the Great Mongol Empire of the 13th-15th centuries, one of the most powerful periods in our nation's history, the designs preserve essential traditional elements such as a functional skirt slit that allows freedom of movement, a raised collar that protects against wind and cold, and a fully closed overlapping front symbolizing warmth and unity. Finest Mongolian cashmere is elegantly finished with silk trimming, embroidered with traditional horn motifs, infusing the garments with a refined ceremonial character.

Using Mongolian cashmere-long relied upon by our nomadic people to endure harsh winters-we have created ceremonial deels that honor traditional history and culture, alongside premium cashmere knit casual ensembles inspired by alpine ski sweaters rooted in Western mountain culture, enriched with motifs of the Mongolian ger and nomadic life.

Through these designs, we proudly present to the global sporting stage the resilience, wisdom, and warrior spirit forged over thousands of years by Mongolians who have endured the eternal winters of the Central Asian highlands.

What We Carried Through Winter - We Carry to the World.' X
