Today, to see all that we built for more than 15 years destroyed — it hurts unbearably,
— Andrey Tan said.
Despite the loss, the team does not give up. The designer emphasized that the most important in this situation is the lives of the staff, and the walls will be rebuilt.
The scariest thing is not the destroyed walls and not the broken windows. Behind every store are families, dreams and hopes for tomorrow… We have lost stores before, we invested our soul in them, but we cannot be broken,
