Le Soleil means «the sun» in French. The design is inspired by the feeling of warm sunbeams on your skin, bright summer mornings and the energy the light gives us. The clear yellow stands for optimism and joy, while the airy construction keeps the sweater light enough to wear through most of the year.

Day'n Night is CosyMonday's collection inspired by contrasts, light and the moods of the day. The designs combine modern silhouettes with feminine details and are made to be worn from morning to night.
