Each year, we create an exclusive collection of handcrafted pieces to present at the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, more commonly known as SEWE, held in the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina. This highly anticipated event, which has become a cornerstone in the celebration of the natural world, serves as a platform for honoring the beauty, diversity, and ecological significance of wildlife. For us, SEWE embodies not only a celebration of nature’s splendor but also an alignment with our company’s ethos - one that seeks to illuminate the beauty of the natural world through exquisite artistry.
With a legacy rooted in honoring the delicate balance between artistry and conservation, this annual exhibition serves as a platform to showcase the talents of artisans, wildlife advocates, craftsmen, and collectors, all united by a common reverence for the majestic creatures and habitats that grace our planet. It is a celebration that transcends art, inviting all who attend to reflect on the profound connection between humanity and the environment. As a brand, we too share this reverence for nature, and our mission is intricately intertwined with the very essence of what SEWE embodies: the celebration of nature’s unspoken magnificence. Through our handcrafted feathered accessories, we strive to capture the unique and fleeting beauty found in the natural world, and translate it into pieces of wearable art.
For this year's collection, we have chosen to focus our attention on one of nature's most versatile and captivating materials - the pheasant feather. Known for its striking iridescence and intricate patterns, the pheasant feather is an emblem of nature’s ability to blend texture and color in an entirely unique way. Within our collection, this feather becomes a medium through which we can explore the depth of design, texture, and light, giving each piece a complexity and nuance that mirrors the natural world itself.
The Weehawken Bow Tie: A Masterpiece in Feathered Elegance
At the heart of this year’s collection stands the Weehawken Bow Tie - a standout piece that embodies the ethereal beauty of the pheasant feather. Each individual feather is carefully selected and arranged to create a design that feels both organic and sophisticated. The almond-colored pheasant feathers are meticulously arranged in a bloom-like formation, draping gracefully over feathered hearts. The layered structure of the design creates a subtle yet striking depth, inviting the eye to explore the textures and intricacies of the piece. This piece invites a tactile experience that reveals new dimensions with each glance. The pheasant feathers are layered to create a pattern that suggests both fluidity and structure, evoking the natural harmony found in the wild.
The feathers themselves, with their delicate iridescence, shimmer in the light, transitioning from shades of rich amber and chestnut to hints of blue, green, and violet, much like a dewdrop catching the first rays of dawn. When worn in the sunlight, the Weehawken Bow Tie becomes an ever-changing work of art, reflecting the dynamic interplay of light and shadow that defines the natural world. In every detail, from the arrangement of the feathers to the way light dances upon them, the Weehawken Bow Tie embodies the harmony that exists between the artisan’s touch and nature’s enduring beauty.
