The brand is known for combining Mongolian culture and conventional elements with contemporary silhouettes. Some of the symbols in these outfits include the Nine White Banners (the symbol of veneration of the Mongolian State), the Olympic torch, the emblem of the Paris Olympics, and representations of the sun, moon, and the Gua-Maral (myth deer). All the symbols are embroidered with golden thread.
