Highlight
Commemorate The Solar Eclipse With Natural Threads’ Limited Edition Eclipse Collection
Gear up for the total eclipse! Our friends at Natural Threads have collaborated with Northwest Arkansas-based artist Taylor Houston Morgan to create a limited-edition collection of eclipse-inspired apparel.
If The Stars Align: On Apr 8, the Great American Solar Eclipse’s path of totality will cut straight through the Natural State. Arkansas’s last total solar eclipse happened over a century ago on Jun 8, 1918, and we won’t experience another until Aug 12, 2045.
Total Eclipse of the Art: The Eclipse selection includes an organic cotton short-sleeve and long-sleeve shirt, recycled poly hat, and koozie. Each item is made with earth-conscious materials and features thoughtful designs that evoke a sense of liberation, the vastness of the universe, and our interconnectedness with every aspect of it.
Enter a giveaway to win one of each 4.8.24 item through Natural Threads Instagram.
