WHAT INSPIRES US

Here’s a story for those who are wondering, “Why Plain Tiger?”

Danaus chrysippus, a butterfly also known as ‘Plain Tiger’, is found most commonly throughout Africa, Asia, the Middle East and parts of Australia. The Plain Tiger is known for its resilience and its ability to thrive in modern, urban environments. We like to think of it as the queen of the urban jungle. 

For us, the Plain Tiger represents the intersection between nature and the physical world. As a butterfly, it also has special significance for us as a pollinator. We like to think of sustainable suppliers as pollinators  – a movement of powerful individuals, spreading their influence subtly but with intrinsic strength. 

As the furthest migrating insect in the world, the Plain Tiger, like our brand, belongs to the world.
