This design used to be sold as a symbol of dominance. It is worth correcting, because the truth is a better story.
The idea of a dominant pair comes from a 1940s study of unrelated captive wolves penned together, which produced exactly the ranked aggression you would expect from strangers with nowhere to go. The researcher who made the term famous spent much of his later career asking people to stop using it.
A wild pack is a family: a breeding pair and their young from the last few years. The two adults lead because they are the parents. Nobody fought anybody for the position.
A pair reads as attachment rather than menace, and it is why the couple designs get bought as gifts far more often than the lone animals do. Here the two heads sit close together against a deep red ground of dry thorn branches, the second animal half a step behind the first and partly overlapped by its ruff.
Phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small bottle, a paperback.
17 x 6 x 23 cm, Oxford fabric and black nylon, adjustable strap, strong zips. Water resistant rather than fully waterproof, as the zips and seams are not sealed.
