The Sonoran Desert’s spring equinox is celebrated when the wild poppies emerge, blanketing the landscape in bright orange. They dance in the wind, flirt with the sun and bring a renewal after the winter slumber.
Woven through the design, the Western Diamondback rattlesnake honors the desert’s balance of Yin and Yang dualities, dividing sun and shadow, grace and power, surrender and victory. The snake symbolizes intuition and mystery and reminds us that powerful energies are often felt before they are seen. The flowers symbolize resilience and new beginnings, and remind us to live vibrantly.
Set against a striking palette of sun-washed gold and deep teal, the bright orange poppies flicker like embers from a desert fire. The bright blooms mark the seasonal transition from cold to warm, hibernation to hunting, surviving to thriving. The teal and gold represent the recipe for life in the desert: sunshine and precious rainfall.
Originally created to honor the 2025 Year of the Yin Wood Snake, this piece transcends the moment. It’s a tale of East meets West, where ancient principles of Feng Shui meet the raw beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
Born in the moment. Designed for a lifetime.
Also available in the smaller Classic size.

Breaking In Your Scarf
Breaking In Your Scarf
Due to the printing process and fabric finishing, the scarf may feel slightly stiff at first. The silk will soften and relax with wear and a little warmth.
You can put the scarf in the dryer on a very low temperature setting for five minutes before your first wear.
The dryer is quick, but we’ve found the best way to break in your scarf is simply by wearing it! The silk will naturally relax with the warmth from your own body. Plus, you get to look fabulous during the process!
