Pine + Powder

PINE & POWDER

Pine & Powder Maine in winter belongs to those who stay. While the crowds retreat, Mainers come to life.

The winter season transforms the landscape into something both rugged and serene, where the scent of pine mingles with the sharp, clean air and freshly fallen powder glistens under bluebird skies.

Boots crunch on frozen ground as the season settles in—whether it's the meditative motion of skis cutting through fresh powder, the steady rhythm of splitting firewood, the low hum of a sled carving through pine-dotted trails or the quiet joy of simply watching snowflakes swirl from a window.

Inspired by winter’s quiet beauty and vast adventure, Pine & Powder— designed by Jennifer Kent—captures the essence of Maine’s coldest, (and arguably) most magical months. This four-piece collection celebrates the textures, colors, and tones of the season—woodsy, windblown, and wonderfully wooly. With snow-covered pines as its backdrop and the warmth of wool as its shield, Pine & Powder is a love letter to wintering in Maine.
