Cactus Sweatshirt, THE STORE by avalove

Description:

The painted cactus on the front and back of this super soft sweatshirt.

Saguaro Cactus are printed on the front and back of this super soft basic sweatshirt.

"The Tohono O'odham people consider the saguaro cactus to be a sacred embodiment of their ancestors” Origin story: “According to Tohono O'odham mythology, the first saguaro was created when a young woman sank into the earth and emerged as a giant cactus."

Cactus are said to neutralize any negative energy and create a barrier of protection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vibe: We are all connected.  Sacred Protector.

Vibe: PAINTED DESERT

This relaxed-fit garment-dyed sweatshirt brings quiet desert energy into everyday wear. The washed, muted base color and bold, painterly cactus silhouette. Soft ring-spun cotton blended with polyester gives the piece a plush hand and durable structure — it keeps its shape while draping comfortably over layers. Subtle details like the half-moon back neck patch, ribbed cuffs and hem, and sewn-in twill label signal quality. It's a cozy layer for cool mornings, slow road trips, or evenings gathered around a small fire. The low-impact OEKO-TEX dyes make the color gentle on skin and kinder to the planet.

  This piece is made by THE STORE by avalove.  This is a constellation line of avalove! 

 

Poetry can be expressed in many ways.  Verbally, visually through the use of metaphor.  Here we can float every day in the clouds of words or images on ready to wear. 

 

THE STORE by avalove was created as a secondary or, constellation line of the handmade original avalove, and is a sketchbook of my designs from the past twenty years of designing avalove as well as many new design sketches. 

 

These designs are designed by me and not made by me.  They are custom-made as you order them and because of this I would allow a few weeks for the item to be made and shipped to you.

 

This is a terrific way to express all of those creative ideas I have that it's just impossible to produce each and every one but this way we can make a lot of them and explore new concepts like this with you! 

 

Also, this means I will always have sizes, I will always have all season, and you can access my library of designs from the past 20 years of making avalove as well as be the first to try new avalove experimental pieces.

 

It's a wonderful way to share so much more of what avalove designs and also a way I can have these designs always available for you.  

 

I invite you to enjoy this special avalove project!  It's so exciting to be able to create something and have it be available right away to you!

Enjoy my sketchbook of dreams!

 

 

Smile,

ava
