The Short Version

We started with a good eye and a problem

Every bandana we found was either flimsy, drab, or both. So we made our own — with sturdy natural cotton, interesting designs, and illustrations pulled from vintage books most people have never seen.

That was the whole idea, honestly. Find beautiful things that are gathering dust in rare book collections and antique shops, and give them a second life as something you can tie around your neck or toss in your bag.

It started with bandanas in a tiny garage. Now we're in an office in historic downtown Portland with five full product lines — which still feels a bit surreal, if we're being honest.

FROM ARCHIVE TO ACCESSORY

How a 200-year-old illustration becomes your new favorite thing

Each design starts with something real — a page, a print, a painting that caught our eye and wouldn't let go.

Source

We hunt through rare book collections, antique shops, and archival catalogs for illustrations with the kind of detail and personality that translates to fabric.

ii

Design

Our team adapts each illustration — honoring the original while composing something that works as a wearable piece. Color, scale, composition — the whole deal.

iii

Make

Printed by a shop we've worked with for the past five years. Every piece is checked for the kind of print quality and fabric feel we'd want for ourselves.

FROM YOU

What people actually do with these

The honest answer is: way more than we expected. Our customers wear them, frame them, gift wrap with them, make curtains out of them, and put them on their dogs.

Where We Are

Portland, Maine

We're based in downtown Portland — a small city with an unreasonable number of good bookstores, antique shops, and restaurants per capita. It's the right place for what we do.
We draw a lot of inspiration from what's around us. The old harbor, the brick buildings, the general vibe of a place that respects things with a little history to them.
