A fine, light accessory that can be worn in an infinite number of different ways. In fact, the bandana is one of the most versatile items of clothing to enter the wardrobe of modern western society. The bandana, as it is commonly known, dates back to the late 17th century in the Middle East and South Asia. In fact, the word "bandana" is also thought to derive from Hindi, the translation of which is "tied cloth". It was in this region that the first printing processes emerged, which involved pressing pre-cut blocks into small pieces of cloth, infusing them with the first colors made from indigenous plants and materials. Bandanas remained popular as workwear and marketing materials until the beginning of World War I and, in particular, during World War II, when the two uses collided to catapult bandanas onto the world stage. This, combined with the popularization of John Wayne and Hollywood westerns, consolidated the bandana as an iconic accessory worldwide, becoming a symbol of individualism, self-determination and adventure. It cannot be denied, therefore, that bandanas have shown a certain resilience over time. These versatile pieces of cloth boast a history of almost 300 years of form, fashion and function. The bandana is a timeless accessory that has transcended the dictates of fashion, establishing itself over the years as the favourite accessory of stars and gentlemen of all ages.
