The Bee Orchid Rambler Cowl is inspired by the vibrant coloration and intricate patterning of the bee orchid. Blocks of purple and magenta create a vivid, floral palette, enriched by the interplay of Tencel and cottolin. The shine of the Tencel contrasts gently with the matte character of the cottolin, giving the fabric layered texture and a soft, natural luminosity.
 
The blocks alternate between double point twill and M & W, allowing each section to catch light differently and adding subtle shifts in rhythm across the cowl. This structured interplay of weave patterns creates quiet depth while keeping the overall look clean and wearable.
 
Rambler Cowls are sewn straight for a stacked drape. This construction forms easy, cascading folds that highlight the alternating blocks and let each weave structure appear in turn as the cowl moves.
