NEW James Patrick Collab Benefits Animals Impacted by the Australian Bushfires ๐ฆ๐บ๐จ๐
(James Patrickย designing ourย new Artist Edition Koala Hood at theย Love Cabins in Australia.)
From 2019ย toย 2020, Australia sufferedย devastating bushfires that scorched an area TWICE the size of Pennsylvania and killed some THREE BILLIONย animalsโfrom kangaroos to koalas, frogs and more. It was heartbreaking to read headlines, watch news clips, and to just know how many innocent animals were tragically killed or displaced by these events.
Our hearts are with Australia as they continue to do what they can to rebuild what was lost.ย To show our love and support, we decided thatย a portion of proceeds from this release will specifically be donated back to helping Australia's wildlife heal after the bushfires.ย โค๏ธ๐พ
THE ARTIST EDITION BEFORE ARTIST EDITIONS...
We first collaborated with James on whatย was dubbed the "Endangered Collection" back in 2018. (Go back in time and check outย our James Patrick blog from 2018!) Back then, the concept of an "Artist Edition" piece didn't even exist yet.ย In fact, the official release was actually billed as a "Collector Edition" Hood. Little did we know that this so-called "Collector Edition" collaborationย would go on to become whatย would essentially be our very first Artist Edition release (we just didn't know it yet)!
Fast forward a few years later to 2021 where our collections are now categorized into a few buckets: Core Collection, Collector Edition, Limited Edition, and Artist Edition.ย We've re-enlisted the help of our favorite Australian artist, James Patrick, to design a NEW Koala Hood that would capture and convey the vast variety of beautiful wildlife foundย throughoutย Australiaโfrom oceanic waves to the terrestrial Kookaburra.
The result?
James Patrick's Artist Edition Koala Hood has some of most breathtaking designs you'll come across! We went out of our way to find the PURRRFECT fabrics toย do James' artwork justice and truly make it a piece of (wearable) art. Not to mention, James really went ABOVE AND BEYOND for this collab! As part ofย his design, James included a TON of "Easter Eggs" / hidden gems for fans to find. No joke, every time we've picked this piece up, we'veย found something new that we didn't even notice be-faux! We challenge you to find EVERY hidden design in this magical piece of wearable art!
