The Banana Bandana™ created by artist Carolyn Belefski is a modern paisley bandana offering that takes on the classic bandana print and pairs it with banana humor. Guard yourself and others against germs with this non-medical grade 22×22” premium cotton bandana (available in both yellow and brown fabric) -- and look fun and fashionable at the same time! Bandanas can be used in many ways: tie it around a handbag, use it as wrapping for a gift, or get creative accessorizing your wardrobe.

In addition to being both functional and visually striking, Banana Bandana™ is an informative statement on Panama disease in bananas that has a lot in common with our current COVID-19 situation. A new outbreak of Panama disease caused by the strain Tropical Race 4 (TR4) threatens the production of the Cavendish banana, today's most popular banana. Conveniently one of the 2021 PANTONE Colors of the Year is Illuminating Yellow -- aspirational and gives us hope. We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter -- this is essential to the human spirit.

Did you know? Humans share about 50% of our DNA with bananas!

In this appealing design you'll find bananas in various poses, baby bananas, bananas leaves, sliced bananas, paisleys, polka dots, western influences, and other exciting visual motifs.

The yellow bandana is imprinted with two ink colors -- brown and white. The brown bandana is imprinted with two ink colors -- yellow and white.
