Southwestern Dog Bandana

from $14.00

Handcrafted in Ridgefield, Washington, these reversible slip-through over-the-collar dog bandanas are made with Taos Trail Pendleton® Wool on one side and plaid Pendleton® on the reverse.

You and your fur baby will love this soft designer reversible bandana we call The Daisy (see story, below*). These bandanas slip through your collar and are finished with metal rivets and a leather tag. Please see the info below to help choose the correct size for your pup. Since wool takes essential oils beautifully, if needed you can put a few drops of your favorite on your pup's collar, too! Bandana sizes shown in photos are S on the stuffed animal and M on Ace the Wonder Lab.

THE STORY OF THIS PRODUCT:

In August of 2019 I produced a new product for dogs at a small shop in Battle Ground, Washington called El & Em. My handmade collars and leashes made their debut at an event called “Dog Days of Summer.” They were an immediate hit and I planned to increase my pet line to include bandanas but sadly the Pandemic of 2020 made a casualty of El&Em.

In September of 2020 we lost our sweet black lab Hannah (who was my model during the August 2019 event). I was crushed and had doubts about moving forward. We still had Miss Ruby, our fox red lab who was 14, and in April I posted on Instagram with the fabrics for the bandanas, but sadly, in May we lost Ruby.

I felt like every time I stepped forward I got pushed two steps backwards. I wanted to give up, but I already had the fabric, so, I pushed myself to finish them. I had chosen 3 fabric combos to represent the 3 family dogs we lost in 2020: Rocky (my daughter's dog); Daisy (my son's dog); and Hannah (my girl). I decided to come up with another combo for Ruby. I hope you enjoy this bandana, and please know that as I made each and every one of them I did so knowing that your beloved pets would wear them.
