The name is used to describe the general family. While generally seen made around a cylinder, the knot can also be deformed into a flat, mat-like shape. Some variants can be arranged into a roughly spherical shape, akin to a monkey’s fist knot. The knot is used primarily for decoration and occasionally as anti-chafing protection.Key PointsMade by hand with a special knotting technicKnotted with thick natural leather cordBrass hardwareStory – Behind The CollectionIn 2017, we met a young girl while on holiday in the south of Turkey, Izmir province. Because it had a maritime background, she was making home accessories with Monkey’s first knot (a type of Turk’s head knot). We asked her to cooperate with us to make keychains with the monkey’s fist knot. Then by supplying brass hardware, we started to produce our keyrings at the beginning of 2018. We’ve also added a similar knotted leather bookmark to the collection.
