Bandana

Knitted bandanas: a small scarf with a big impact
You’ll be surprised how often you grab a knitted bandana. It’s made from really soft merino wool and crafted by hand in Scotland. You can wear it around your neck like a little scarf, which adds some warmth without making you feel bulky, and brings a pop of colour to your face. It fits nicely under your coat collar, layers well with your favourite knitwear, and gives your everyday outfits a nice finishing touch.

How to wear a bandana around the neck

1) The triangle scarf. Fold into a triangle and tie at the back of the neck. Wear the point to the front for a classic look, or to the back for a cleaner line under outerwear.

2) The neckerchief knot. Fold into a slim band and tie a small knot at the front or slightly to the side — perfect with a crewneck sweater or a crisp shirt.

3) Under the collar. Tie it close to the neck and layer it under a coat collar for a refined, city-ready look on colder days.

4) Soft frame. Tie it a touch looser so it sits like a light scarf, framing the neckline without adding volume.

Beyond the neck: versatile styling

On windy days, a knitted bandana also works beautifully as a headscarf, adding a protective layer while keeping the silhouette clean and minimal. Tied on a bag, it becomes a small detail that pulls your look together.

Why merino wool

Unlike a printed cotton bandana, ours is knitted from natural merino wool — breathable, temperature-regulating, and fully biodegradable. The fine knit sits softly against the skin, holds a knot without creasing, and pairs easily with a Le Bonnet beanie or scarf.

Choosing the right bandana

For fall and winter, focus on comfort and structure: something that sits neatly, layers easily, and stays in place throughout the day. With 20 colours available, a knitted bandana is also a thoughtful gift — one size, versatile, and genuinely useful.

Care & keeping it crisp

Follow the care label, store flat, and refresh gently between wears. A smooth finish helps the knot sit cleanly and keeps the styling sharp.
