This design was inspired by a turkey red bandanna. This era of bandannas is always very interesting detail-wise. The original had a bird motif in the middle and these little feather ornaments on the outside. One Ear Brand wanted to change the center motif to something more easily recognizable -cardinals. Entirely redrawn from the original, all the details have been changed and everything is original. They were listening to baroque lute music and this design really meshed well with it. Consider this design a sort of modern antique. They don’t do many black bandannas, but this one is an interesting Japanese hue of black. “Sumi” is a lovely softer black that really looks nice next to deep reds and antique whites.

A little about the artist who draws and does the art on all the bandannas:
“Yurika Cherise Shikai is a Japanese-American illustrator and designer. She was born and raised in the culturally diverse East Los Angeles and draws from a variety of cultural influences within the city and through living and working abroad.
Sketching is a personal compulsion that allows her to gain a more intimate understanding of the world through mentally tracing and “feeling” shapes and forms. She finds a satisfaction in applying simple graphic HB pencil to paper, with a rough urgency to transpose the tracing activity of the mind, to the hand.”
