Behind the Print: Fox & Folklore
We’ve done so many lush, tropical floral prints in the past, so now we really wanted to create a print that celebrated similar imagery but with more of an autumnal/wintery vibe. Also, we’ve always talked about doing a fox print and after so many requests from shoppers wanting to see this cozy animal featured in a style, it felt like a great time to make it happen!
Fox & Folklore: What Inspired Our Fox Print Pajamas
There is a lot of symbolism and meaning behind foxes in lore and mythology. They represent intelligence, independence, playfulness, mischief, beauty, protection and good fortune. There are 37 species of foxes, and they can be found on every continent except Antarctica! Seen in pop culture and societies around the world, these cunning creatures make it impossible not to be drawn to them.
This print shares some similar evergreens as our Jersey Devil print, but also adds in picturesque birch trees and curling ferns. Overall, it has such a cozy look and feel to it. We’re also excited that this print is on our flannel, as the two are a perfect combo for the chillier season ahead. The fuzzy hand-feel of flannel has such a comforting and warm feel to it, so it was the ideal match to such an adorable print. This is our second season designing in flannel, and we’re eager to welcome a few new prints in this comfy look.
After we spent a lot of time researching and testing different materials, this fabric came out so buttery soft. It’s lighter in weight, so it’s more resilient to pilling, making it long-lasting and adorable for holiday after holiday. When you’re ready to transition from our crisp organic cotton poplin, this flannel is definitely the move. You can read more about our flannel here!
The illustrative style of our prints always feels a bit storybook, and the scenery depicting delicate foxes and woodland accents makes us think of fairytale forests like Little Red Riding Hood and Baba Yaga. We were very inspired by folklore in general for this look, there are so many cultures that feature foxes in their stories and mythologies. The Aztec / Mayan people tell a story about the “Dancing Fox,” a fox who loves to dance but must hide his bushy tail in his trousers to disguise himself, while the French share “The Fox and the Little Prince,” a tale about a lonely boy who befriends and tames a wild fox.
