Bumblebees Cotton Silk Bandana

Bumblebees and tomato plants are apparently a pattern. More things should probably be patterns.

Centinelle’s Bumblebees Bandana starts with an original illustration by California artist Cris Rose-Guizar and puts it on a soft cotton-silk twill that has just enough sheen to make the whole thing feel considerably more sophisticated than its garden inhabitants would suggest. Wear it tied around your neck, wrapped through your hair, knotted onto a bag, or deployed wherever an outfit has reached the technically-fine-but-not-particularly-interesting stage. The cotton gives it enough substance to actually stay where you put it, while silk adds softness and drape. And then there are the bees, buzzing around tomato plants as though this were an entirely normal thing to wear around your neck. Which, after looking at it for approximately ten seconds, I think we can all agree that it is.

About the Brand:  Centinelle

California artist and designer Cris Rose-Guizar turns her fascination with nature, animals, food, and the slightly peculiar things around us into illustrated scarves, bandanas, and accessories. Rather than treating silk as something reserved for tasteful florals and extremely serious horses, Centinelle gives you bumblebees, persimmons, garden gnomes, squirrels, mushrooms, cats, chard, and whatever else Rose-Guizar finds interesting enough to draw. The pieces are designed to be versatile and worn repeatedly, combining traditional accessory shapes with artwork that refuses to behave quite so traditionally.
