Women’s History Month Collection

Find your own path in our Women’s History Month collection. Designed in collaboration with artist Naomi Otsu. Built for discovering what Mother Nature has to offer.

It’s in our nature.

Exploration is bigger than a month or a day; it’s a lifetime. A lifetime of community and stories; of lifting each other up and pushing each other forward. This Women’s History Month, we’ve teamed up with graphic designer and illustrator Naomi Otsu (she/her) to create a collection that celebrates and elevates women in the outdoors—and invites you to explore what’s in your nature.

Naomi Otsu Designer

New York-based graphic designer and illustrator Naomi Otsu is known for her vibrantly coloured and meticulous work. Born in New York and raised in Tokyo, Japan, her work draws from the world of cultural crossroads.
Plants and objects are often playfully and discretely personified, while her maximalist approach to design fills every space with meaningful detail. Look closely and you might find a surprise.
