The back of this jacket depicts a lone cormorant standing on a weathered harbour post, wings spread wide to dry as it gazes towards the rising sun. It has weathered the storm and now turns towards the light—a quiet but powerful act of defiance.
Cormorants have long carried fascinating symbolism. Once feared by sailors as birds of ill omen, they were later admired for their remarkable fishing abilities. Across different cultures they have come to represent resilience, freedom, adaptability and survival—creatures equally at home in the sea, on land and in the sky.
To reflect this journey, the jacket is embroidered with symbolic motifs representing the sun, moon, air, earth and water, celebrating the balance of the natural world and the interconnectedness of all living things.
This wearable artwork captures a real moment witnessed in nature while celebrating wildlife, folklore and sustainable craftsmanship.

Every Wild Minder jacket is created slowly by hand using reclaimed materials, combining painting, embroidery and storytelling into wearable art that is made to last.
By choosing this piece, you’re not simply wearing a jacket—you’re carrying a story inspired by the natural world while giving new life to forgotten materials through sustainable craftsmanship.
