Introducing The Cabin Collection

A man wearing a camo shirt and a beanie sits on a chair against a blue plaid background, promoting "The Cabin Collection.
The Cabin Collection is inspired by life among the redwoods of Sonoma County, where foggy mornings ease into sunlit afternoons and quiet evenings by the fire. Navy blues, tweeds, and rich chestnut browns shape a palette made for layering, with pieces that reflect the slower rhythm of West County and Northern California living. Designed for wandering redwood groves and dressing at the pace of the season.

I recently discovered a rare Lilli Ann three-piece for The Birthday Collection, its essence on display while visiting Sonoma County’s charming locales of Monte Rio and Korbel Winery.
