phoenix rising
An incredibly important bag to The League
for multiple reasons. The folklore and tales of
t h e p h o e n i x r i s i n g te l l s u s t h e p h o e n i x
re p re s e n t s re - b i r t h . Fo r t h e L e a g u e , i t
represents much more. This bag represents
letting go of everything in order to fulfill one’s
full truth and destiny. Not only rising from the
ashes, but also to live only by the principles
important to the League—speaking your
truth and having the courage to live one’s life
with wisdom and integrity. To The League, to
let the phoenix rise is to let the lower self
of human embodiment die so that the true
spirit can rise from the ashes.
The front of the bag features the Phoenix
Rising high and centered. The back of the bag
features a side profile of the phoenix
flying among the stars.
Wherever you carry this bag, know that it
represents all those who have come before
us and the trials they have gone through in
order for us to fulfill our destiny.

LIMITED EDITION PRINT
DANGEROUS BEAUTY
Representing everything in life that tempts us,
harms us, or may even kill us. This bag pairs
two of the world’s deadliest creatures— the
snow leopard and the Autumn Crocus. Each
of these beauties can kill a human being within a
matter of seconds, but we can’t help but be
attracted to their beauty. Snow leopards are
extremely dangerous and usually attack from
above, killing their prey with a fatal bite to the
throat. The Autumn Crocus is filled with
Colchicine, a drug so powerful that it can
cause an immediate cardiac arrest. These
creations are as rare as they are deadly. Both
beauties are on the World’s endangered
species list.
On the front of the bag, the snow leopard is
in p row l m o d e , s u r ro u n d e d by Au t u m n
Crocus tendrils. On the back of the bag, the
snow leopard exhibits peaceful serenity with
the Autumn Crocus floating around her. This
bag holds the yin and the yang, the dark and
the light, the essence of reality.
