One of the most fascinating things you’ll see in the outdoors is a honeybee swarm. A new hive is being formed when the old queen bee gathers more than half of her worker bees, and they all take flight for a new home.
This boot cuff takes the image of a honeybee swarm and materializes it into a wearable work of art! This stitch, appropriately named “Bee Stitch” is a stretchy, squishy, dense fabric that holds its shape. The fabric looks like thousands of tiny bees waiting to take flight!
