Free Spirit Bandana by Bandits Bandanas

Regular price $62.00

Free Spirit Bandana by Bandits Bandanas. The Free Spirit bandana in 100% organic cotton, designed by artist Sam Dunn, London. When creating "Free Spirit," Sam aimed to create an emblem for a truly free-spirited character, or an "Outlaw" in the more modern sense of the word. She imaged someone who led a life not following the usual social norms, a person who sought out their own path rather than chasing what is expected.

Sam Dunn is a freelance designer and illustrator originally from Hartlepool, England and currently based in South East London. Her colorful, incredibly detailed illustrations are influenced by British skate/punk culture and the hard-charging music that serves as it's soundtrack. In addition to concert poster prints for bands like Mastodon and Alkaline Trio, Sam has created designs for skateboards, bikes, and even bathing suits. As a girl, Sam would intricately study and attempt to recreate CD covers, skateboard decks, and gig posters. She still takes great effort to draw her line work by hand, a often overlooked (and time-consumig) technique in today's digital era of art creation. Coupled with elements of botanical inspiration from English countryside trips during her youth, this practice helped Sam to develop a uniquely detailed, hand-drawn style that is simultaneously hard-edged and vulnerable.

Printed, cut, sewn, and packaged by hand at a Fair Trade certified facility in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Please note that there may be slight sizing and colour variations from product to product.

Each bandana measures 53.3 x 53.3cm.

100% Organic Cotton.

Made in India.

Nicole & Connor Humphreys are the Co-Founders of BANDITS and a couple of self-proclaimed "Bandana enthusiasts." After many years living in Venice Beach, CA in 2017 they decided to quit their unfulfilling office jobs and move full time to Bali, Indonesia. While traversing the island on motorbikes that Summer, they realized a need to replace the frayed, sweaty bandanas that had become essential for their rides.

When all they could find was scratchy cotton, boring patterns, and suspect manufacturing, the idea for BANDITS was born. Building upon Nicole’s extensive work in the non-profit sector and Connor’s business background, they set out to build a bandana that would spark collaboration, inspire original expression, and create positive change.

Since that fateful ride Nicole and Connor have travelled the globe to find the perfect blend of sustainably-sourced, 100% Organic Cotton. They have searched and sampled from countless manufacturers to ultimately find an incredible Fair Trade certified partner in Kolkata, India. They spent countless hours discovering the most original artistic talents in the world and working with them to create mind-blowing bandana designs.
