earth·en : made of earth or of baked clay or compressed earth.

A lot of people ask us if our names are Flora and Fauna. We wish! Our business name, Flora + Fauna means plants and animals in Latin. We really fell in love with this as a representation of our business because find so much inspiration in nature. When curating an editorial shoot, we always look to the world around us. For this editorial, we looked to the rawness of the earth. Naturally, we were inspired by the tones of moss, soil, and clay. If you’re a Florida native like us, you might have memories of playing with orange clay as a kid! We used the color inspiration to pull together an editorial shoot that felt urban, yet still connected to nature.

We’re beyond excited to see our inspirational shoot featured on Ruffled Blog.
