Bandana BANDITS® El Rito Nights

Bandana BANDITS® El Rito Nights

The EL RITO NIGHTS bandana features an exclusive and unique design, created by a talented artist selected by BANDITS BANDANAS®. The brand collaborates with artists from around the world to offer unique designs that depart from traditional clichés. Each design is the result of a close collaboration with the artist, who brings a personal touch and a story to each piece.

This bandana is made from 100% organic cotton, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified, guaranteeing a sustainable and environmentally friendly source.

The cotton is sourced from Chetna Organic in India, an organization that supports small farmers and promotes sustainable agricultural practices.

Each bandana is printed, cut, sewn, and packaged by hand in a Fair Trade-certified facility in Kolkata, India, ensuring artisanal quality and ethical production.

BANDITS BANDANAS® donates 10% of the profits from each bandana sold to a charity chosen by the artist who created the design. For the EL RITO NIGHTS model, the association supported is the Five Valleys Land Trust, based in Missoula, Montana. This organization works to preserve the region's land, natural landscapes, and environmental resources.

Since its inception, BANDITS BANDANAS® has highlighted the work of artists by providing them with a platform to express their creativity and donating a portion of the profits to causes close to their hearts.

For this model, the company partnered with Jess Mudgett, an illustrator and painter based in Oregon, USA. Her work is characterized by original designs, often inspired by nature, Western culture, and bold graphic patterns.

The brand is committed to responsible fashion, using eco-friendly materials and supporting fair trade practices.

In addition to supporting artists, BANDITS BANDANAS actively contributes to social and environmental projects through its partnerships with local and international associations. This bandana combines unique style, artisanal quality, respect for the environment and social commitment, making each purchase both an aesthetic and responsible gesture.

BANDIT BANDANA

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.
