Scarf / Bandanna Options

Scarves

Many of my designs are available as both long scarves or square scarves and as both baby hem or rolled hem scarves. All scarf fabrics are soft, lightweight and drape beautifully to make lovely scarves, wraps, hair ties, head wraps - or anything else you can imagine. That's what I love about scarves. They are such a versatile easy way to wear color and patterns. 

I've outlined fabric differences below to help you decide. Some fabrics appear more double-sided than others and some are more of brighter white to start with which affects the look and feel of the print.

If you have a preference for any of these fabric, size, or hem options, filter the scarves by these tags on the Scarves Collection page.
