Sam & Nala Woven Bandanas

Amazing tie bandanas from Sam & Nala each come with their own story...we love them and know you will too! Handmade in Guatemala. 

P.S. These bandanas run small, so if you are debating between sizes, we recommend sizing up!

Details from Sam & Nala:

Spring Hills (Aqua): This fabric exhibits a movement that transports you to the time, in early spring, when rain transform the hills from golden browns and yellows to lush greens.

These casual bandanas begin their journey as new fabric that was hand woven by members of a women’s cooperative in the highlands of Guatemala. We work with the artisan weavers to bring their art and imagery to the fabrics we use. We then take these custom fabrics to a small family-run sewing shop outside Chichicastenango, Guatemala to transform them into wearable fun for your pup. By setting their own wages and prices, weavers and sewers have the opportunity to express their creativity while carrying on the tradition of weaving and earning a fair wage.

Esperanza Print (Purple): This dreamy fabric has symbols of humans and butterflies woven into it. The artisan who made it, Manuel, explained that they are there to symbolize life & hope. We think that's pretty spectacular.

This fabric was hand-woven in Nahualá, which is in the Sololá Department of Guatemala. It is situated in the mountainside overlooking Lake Atitlán. Nearly the entire population is ethnic K'iche' Maya who speak the K'iche' language. Using a traditional wooden pedal loom, Manuel Ixmata’ and his team of friends and family start with 100% cotton, use dye to create their thread colors, and then weave it into this amazing fabric!
