Woodland Wisdom invites you into a secret world where even the unlikeliest of friends find warmth in each other’s company. Created in collaboration with the extraordinary Charles van Sandwyk, this design draws on his gift for capturing the tender, hidden stories of nature—tales where creatures are not just animals, but symbols of love, resilience, and quiet magic. Known for his luminous watercolors and intricate linework, Sandwyk’s work feels like stepping into a storybook where every detail whispers of wonder. At the heart of this delightful print lies a cozy underground burrow where a fox curls protectively around a pheasant and her nest of eggs, their peace unbroken by the roles the world expects them to play. Above, the moonlit forest stretches out—a gnarled old tree rises from the earth, a castle glows faintly in the distance, and a wise owl sweeps across the night sky. In his talons, he carries an hourglass and a message, as if flying between worlds to deliver a truth we must not forget. With its deep greens, warm glowing earth tones, and the hush of night, Woodland Wisdom speaks to the magic that unfolds when we nurture instead of harm, protect instead of fear, and choose to love one another—creature to creature, heart to heart. This piece can be worn two ways, with the owl on the front of the bodice, or the back depending on your mood. Made from 100% viscose derived from plant fibers such as wood and bamboo. Please note: The nature of this viscose means it’s slightly sheer, so we recommend wearing a full or half slip with this style. The belt used in photo 4 is a styling suggestion only and is not included with purchase.
