Acknowledging Classic Design...

.

I've always loved bandanas

.

and although this may seem like a strange blog post,

I decided the bandana is a classic design

who's style and function need to be acknowledged...

.

It began when I started travelling independantly and

needed to condense my luggage as I knew

I would be walking everywhere and jumping on and off trains and buses...

I remember throwing a bandana in my bag

thinking it would serve me for so many things:

A headband

A wash cloth

A Kleenex

A napkin

A shower cap

A luggage tag

A towel

A necklace

A Band-aid

A carry-all when tied hobo style

And finally,

a scarf...

. Some of you may avoid this universal accessory

thinking you look like a cowboy or pirate when wearing one

(not that there's anything wrong with that)

.
Designers from Louis Vuitton to Ralph Lauren

have taken this scarf to a whole new level
by adding their familiar signature...
.

More recently, my collection of bandanas
(which I no longer wear)
have been used by daughter when skiing or snowboarding
and to tie around our Golden retriever dog's neck
(she doesn't wear the same one as the dog..!)
