Kate's bandana design draws on her background growing up in Maine, in a family of Lobstermen, intrinsically linked to the ecosystem, the mythology, and the ebb and flow of the ocean. From the central image of the lifecycle of the whale, to the mermaids that reference old ship figureheads, "Due North" tells a story of the sea that encapsulates not only the beauty, but also the gritty reality of the ocean.
Kate sets the story of this bandana in an ocean of nautical greens and blues, contrasted with the deep orange of a late-season sunset. She juxtaposes and balances each layered element mirroring the interplay of life above and below the water. All of it sits under a blanket of stars and a trusty compass, leading the way to "Due North."
