Bandana BANDITS® Freedom is..

The "FREEDOM IS" bandana from BANDIT BANDANA® is a creation by Italian illustrator and graphic designer Francesco Colombo, also known as IVO Works. Originally from Milan, Francesco graduated from the Art Institute of Monza and is distinguished by a clean style characterized by hand-drawn black lines, great attention to detail, and an aesthetic inspired by speed, fuel, and metal. His design for "FREEDOM IS" is inspired by the world of Hollywood westerns, evoking desert landscapes and starry skies, symbolizing a quest for freedom and connection with nature and the unspoiled outdoors.

The road, the road trip, the Milky Way, and the four cardinal points are the graphic themes represented on this magnificent black and white bandana.

This bandana embodies strong values: freedom, adventure, respect for the environment, and commitment. BANDIT BANDANA is committed to donating 10% of the profits from each sale to a charity chosen by the artist, such as Greenpeace, which advocates for environmental protection and peace. The bandana is made from 100% organic cotton, certified fair trade, and each piece is designed to combine originality, quality, and durability.

In short, "FREEDOM IS" is much more than an accessory: it's a symbol of escape, respect for nature, and support for just causes.

At the origin of the Bandits brand, a Californian couple, Nicole and Connors, who decided in 2017 to quit their bureaucratic job to travel around the world. In their many motorcycle trips they understood that a good bandana was essential but that it was very difficult to find good quality, soft and with satisfactory patterns.
The idea of ​​Bandits bandanas was born. After extensive research, they settled on 100% organic and fair trade cotton woven in Kolkata. Nicole, who had expertise in artistic activities, naturally turned to artists for the design of their bandanas. Today, the brand pays artists and 10% of the profits are donated to charities chosen by the artist who created the bandana pattern.
As you can see, these bandanas are more expensive than our traditional models, but the originality of their design, the quality and the softness of their weaving place them on a more exceptional register. The models are mostly produced in limited series.
