Some sailors are judged by how they handle a boat. These two would rather be judged on how they handle a blazer. The Sailing collection is a pair of yacht club regulars dressed in navy and brass, each holding a beer with the calm of someone who has never once been asked to help with the ropes.
The bunny in the bow tie
A white rabbit with tall pink-lined ears stands in a navy jacket with gold buttons and a crest on the pocket, finished with a bright orange bow tie. He is smiling wide and lifting a foamy mug like the commodore just announced the first round is on the house. A splash of watercolor blue behind him looks like sea spray, or maybe the wake of a boat he definitely did not steer. He is the cheerful one of the pair, the sailor who waves at every passing dinghy and knows the name of every dog on the dock.
The fox in the officer's coat
The fox takes a quieter approach. He stands tall in a double-breasted navy coat with a crest, white vest and black bow tie, his orange tail sweeping out behind him, eyes closed mid-sip. This is a fox who has told the story of the big storm so many times that the storm gets taller with every telling. He does not need to raise his glass for a toast. The toast comes to him.
Why they share the dock
Both designs sit under the brand's lettering in soft blue, painted in the same loose watercolor style, so they look right at home side by side. One is all smiles, one is all ceremony, and between them they cover every personality in the harbor bar.
For whoever calls it a vessel
This is for the weekend skipper who says starboard in regular conversation, the friend who wears boat shoes everywhere except an actual boat, the relative who took a single sailing lesson and has been Captain ever since, and anyone whose idea of a great day is a breeze, a view and a cold one waiting at the slip. Picture your sailor in the fox's coat, eyes closed, sipping slowly while someone else ties the knots. Fair winds, and somebody get the bunny another round.
