Poppy Polka Cat Cotton Silk Bandana

Black panthers, polka dots, and poppies sound like three separate ideas until someone has the good sense to put them in the same room.

Centinelle’s Poppy Polka Cat Bandana brings them together in an original illustration by California artist Cris Rose-Guizar, scattering spotted black cats among graphic poppies in a pattern that feels equal parts botanical, feline, and pleasantly difficult to categorize. The 70% cotton and 30% silk twill gives it the easy structure of a classic bandana with a softer hand, fluid drape, and subtle sheen. Knot it around your neck, wear it as a headscarf, or tie it onto a bag that could benefit from the sudden appearance of several tiny panthers. There was probably a safer pattern to make. Fortunately, Cris Rose-Guiza didn't make it.

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.
