Meet the Bolivian Squirrel Monkey

spotlight species

The Bolivian Squirrel Monkey is a highly social primate found in the tropical forests of South America.

Living in large groups, these agile canopy dwellers spend their days foraging for fruit and insects amongst the trees.

Curious and energetic, they are perfectly adapted to life high above the forest floor.

In the Wild

Why It Matters

Bolivian Squirrel Monkeys rely on healthy forests for food, shelter and connection with their troop.

Deforestation and habitat fragmentation continue to place pressure on the ecosystems they call home.

Protecting tropical forests is essential to the future of these remarkable primates.

The Story Behind Selatan

Selatan is named after the first tiger I worked with as a zookeeper. She shaped how I understand wildlife care, conservation, and the importance of recognising individuals - not just species. This collection exists in her honour, and as a commitment to protecting wild lives through thoughtful design and support for in-situ conservation.

THE ART OF MAKING MEANING

DESIGN

Inspired by our natural world, each brooch is thoughtfully designed to spark conversations about conservation.

Every brooch begins as a digitally hand-drawn vector illustration - crafted to capture the spirit of each species and the story it tells.

From concept to creation, our designs celebrate connection, care, and the wild beauty that surrounds us.

Materials

Each brooch is made from FSC-certified bamboo, layered with recycled acrylic then finished with a glossy resin coat for lasting shine.

Our materials are chosen to minimise waste, honour natural resources, and reflect our commitment to ethical craftsmanship.

Every layer embodies our belief that beauty and responsibility go hand in hand.

Craftsmanship

Each brooch is brought to life through years of hands-on experience and a deep respect for craftsmanship.

Every step - from laser cutting and sanding to resin finishing and hand assembly is guided by precision, patience, and purpose.

It’s this attention to detail that ensures every piece meets the standard our wildlife deserves.
