The Dark Crystal film has been a favorite of mine since it was released in 1982. When The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance aired, I was enthralled. It’s not surprising the rich imagery and captivating story inspired me to design. This cowl is inspired by the Stonewood Gelfling Clan who live in the forest region of Thra. Their emblem has deep mahogany and gold tones. Towering, dense trees provide warmth and shelter framed in neat I-Cord edging.
