Carry the quiet charm of a creature that doesn't seek the spotlight — but needs it now more than ever.
This tote features the red panda, delicate and elusive, captured in gentle watercolor and printed on ethically made fabric. A shy forest dweller clinging to the heights of vanishing Himalayan trees.
The red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is neither a bear nor a relative of the giant panda, but a species all its own — a symbol of wild elegance. Found in the misty forests of the Himalayas and parts of China and Southeast Asia, it spends most of its life in trees, feeding on bamboo and solitude.
Now listed as Endangered, the red panda is threatened by deforestation, poaching, and habitat fragmentation. Fewer than 10,000 remain in the wild.
Part of The Vanishing Wild collection, this design honors a species whose softness belies its strength — and whose survival depends on what we choose to protect.

Q: Why is the red panda endangered?
A: The red panda (Ailurus fulgens) is listed as Endangered, with fewer than 10,000 individuals remaining in the wild. Its population continues to decline due to several interconnected threats:
• Deforestation and habitat loss, as forests are cleared for agriculture, livestock grazing, and infrastructure
• Habitat fragmentation, which isolates populations and limits breeding opportunities
• Poaching, for the illegal pet trade and for their distinctive fur
• Accidental trapping, often caught in snares meant for other animals
Red pandas are solitary, secretive, and highly sensitive to environmental change. As their treetop world shrinks, so do their chances of survival.
