Alexander Stein, founder of Monkey 47, comments: “Innovation and collaboration is at the very heart of both brands and for Monkey 47, experimentation with new flavours, aromas and partners is part of our DNA. As a hand-crafted gin, we know how important it is for the end product to be a labour of love and we’re hugely excited to be bringing our expertise from the world of gin to fashion.”
BAPE® shares Monkey 47’s passion for innovation and has partnered with global brands from a wide range of industries to create unique items for different collaborations. This most recent collaboration will see the fashion powerhouse fuse with the stylish gin brand to create a wild and wonderful walk through a technicolour jungle.

Doing things by hand is a matter of honour, which is why Monkey 47 contains only hand-picked ingredients. A number of them, including the peel of bitter oranges, lemons, and pomelos, have to be fresh off the fruit when added to the macerate prior to distillation. This requires the helping hands of hard-working locals who are willing to report for duty at seven o’clock every morning. Following meticulous sensory inspection, each ingredient is distilled using well-honed artisanal techniques and the softest local spring water before being stored in traditional earthenware vessels for maturation. The production process is complicated, comprising a combination of maceration – that is, steeping herbal ingredients in a mixture of highly rectified, molasses-based ethyl alcohol and spring water – as well as distillation, percolation, and oxidation.
