About

Acorn and Forest Artisan Collection creates heirloom-quality scarves and fine art prints from original hand-drawn illustrations, inspired by the remarkable diversity of the natural world.

Every collection begins with curiosity. Through extensive research and meticulous illustration, each design celebrates the beauty, complexity, and interconnectedness of wildlife and the ecosystems they call home. 

The name Acorn and Forest embodies a simple philosophy: that something extraordinary can grow from the smallest beginning. Just as a forest flourishes through biodiversity, connection, and balance, these principles guide every design and every decision behind the collection.

Each piece is produced in small batches using exceptional natural materials chosen for their beauty, longevity, and ability to showcase the richness of the artwork. The result is a timeless collection where fine art, storytelling, and craftsmanship come together in pieces designed to be cherished for generations.

Beyond creating beautiful objects, Acorn and Forest is committed to giving back. Five percent of profits are donated to wildlife preservation, helping protect the extraordinary species and habitats that inspire every illustration.

Acorn and Forest Artisan Collection invites you to carry the warmth of nature with you, as a reminder of its beauty, resilience, and wonder.

The designer behind the collection
Every piece begins as an original hand-drawn illustration created by award winning artist and designer Michelle Pang, a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design.

Process
Every piece begins with research into the wildlife and ecosystems that inspire the collection. These observations are transformed into original hand-drawn illustrations, thoughtfully composed as complete works of art rather than repeating patterns.

The finished artwork is then brought to life in small batches by skilled artisans using exceptional natural materials. From illustration to production, every stage is guided by a commitment to artistry, craftsmanship, and lasting quality.
