There’s something special about a Hunter’s Moon. It hangs in the sky longer, it shines brighter. Historically, we’ve used that bright light to hunt in the cleared fields after the harvest and prepare for the darker days of winter. It’s also a time to check in with yourself – take stock, assess your goals, your needs; it’s a time to contemplate your future. To honor where you’ve been and think about where you’re going. Only 700 of this limited-edition OP, with an antique burnt bronze finish and Calobar green glass lenses were made, meticulously handcrafted in the USA. Take advantage of these few precious bright nights to set your intentions for the coming seasons. We’ll be right there with you, ensuring your vision stays true.
