About the Item

Where am from Bandana was once a common style, we called it Big Boy Style, then it’s seem to me like a style or fashion only, because our elder brothers only allowed to used it but now I understand better that Bandana it’s not just a style or fashion, it’s a sign of growing up, stage of figuring who you are to become a man. As well as a sign, of remains a timeless and versatile symbol of identity, power, culture, protection, religion, and style.
