Western & Frontier Series · Medium L.L. Bean Boat & Tote · One of One
Sweet as cherries. Twice as dangerous.
A riveter, stitched full-scale across the front panel, flexing like she's got somewhere to be. She wears a cowboy hat pushed back, auburn curls pinned with a red rose, and a beauty mark. Her lips are painted cherry red to match everything else about her. Her work shirt is stitched in layered cobalt and sky blue with a floral print, and a gold sheriff's star sits pinned at the collar. She's the poster girl who traded the factory for the frontier and brought a little trouble with her.
The arm is where she tells her story. Her sleeve is rolled to show a full sleeve of tattoo flash: an American flag cuff, blooms in marigold and red, and card suits and stars scattered up to the elbow. The finishing touch is a tiny heart stitched at the crook of her arm.
Around her, the collection of charms she picked up on the road:
A pair of cherries edged in gold, her signature and the fuse on this whole design
A red heart wrapped in a True Love banner
A bluebird swallow in flight, stitched in teal and tangerine
A white route shield reading WT 28227, a nod to home, stitched in our Charlotte studio
