Field Notes

This 100% cotton bandana is has been woven with a selvedge edge, on vintage looms, and has been hand-sewn, and hand-printed in Japan’s Kansai District. This vivid print has been designed by artist Alessio Vitelli, who produces intricate patterns which playfully blend the traditions of bandana designs, and modern popular culture, while this company was born as the brain child of avid collector and bandana enthusiast, Jonathan Lukacek.

The 'Showa Tsubaki' pattern is inspired by 1960s Japanese Post-War art, featuring the Japanese Tsubaki flower inside overlapping geometric patterns. This bandana is cut at 70x70 cms, and can easily be used as a headscarf, shawl, carry wrap, or traditional Japanese way to wrap gifts.

One Ear Brand

Modernising traditional design

Printed, cut, and sewn by hand in Japan’s Kansai district, One Ear Brand is the collaboration between American designer Jonathan Lukacek and Japanese artist Yurika Shikai. Inspired by the intricate designs of traditional Japanese printmaking, the pair use playful pop art homage to create illustrations that feel both ancient and new — and make for some great bandanas!
