Spirit Cowl is the first of the Disparate Parts Collection. With intricate and engaging colorwork through an easy to follow design, this cowl celebrates our connection as artists between ourselves and what we create.

This collection will include four designs including a hat, cowl, shawl, and pullover. Each is inspired by tracks off the incomparable Roxy Coss’ latest album Disparate Parts (2022).
