All life is sacred. Feel the energy that comes from the trees, water flowing, and wildlife moving through beautiful landscapes. The Wild design is inspired by bears that are intricately intertwined with the places where they live and the meaning that they represent. Bears remind us of our inner strength, our capacity for deep peace, and wisdom that comes by living within all that is.
We have been working with Riley McClaughry (@roamingwithriley_) for years. Watching him grow from a teenager with a camera in his hand taking a video with our shirt to a wildlife conservation filmmaker truly embodies that spirit of a bear cub growing into its power. Riley has been in the wild for countless hours watching black bears near Lake Tahoe and the impact human actions have on their lives. Riley has seen firsthand the difference between a truly wild bear and those that have become urbanized. This design is inspired by Riley’s experience observing and learning about black bears and his passion for teaching us to be better neighbors with bears and all wildlife.
We knew we wanted to work with Pine Bones (@pine.bones) for this design because of their love for what is wild, magical, and within the sacred flow. Pine Bones creates art inspired by their experiences camping and exploring in a style that reminds you of ancient drawings illuminated by firelight. The Wild captures that essence with its vibrant lines and pure energy exchange between the bear and its cub.
As a company that strives to inspire all of us to get outside and experience all that is around us, we wanted to work on this collaboration with Riley and Pine Bones to honor the place that humans take in the great flow of everything. Being mindful of our presence when we enter the Wild will keep the wonder alive for all to experience.
