Wait… Bandanas? Let Me Explain.
You came here for candles—and now you’re seeing bandanas? I get it. But if you’ve ever met me in person or peeked behind the scenes of Begonia & Bench, you’ve likely seen me wearing one. A bandana is more than an accessory for me—it’s become part of how I move through the world.
As a woman living with generalized hair loss, I spent years searching for something that felt both gentle and empowering. I didn’t want to hide who I was—I wanted to find something that fit. Bandanas turned out to be exactly that: soft, expressive, and kind to my scalp. Over time, they became not just a practical solution, but a beloved part of my style.
Whether I’m working with Darren in the studio, going out with friends, or heading out for errands, I reach for a bandana. It holds my hair back, frames my face, and honestly—it makes me feel like myself. And that’s something I want to share.
When people started asking, “Where do you get your bandanas?” I knew I wanted to bring them to the shop. So I partnered with one of my favorite small brands: Handker. Designed and produced in the Midwest by women, these 100% organic cotton bandanas are breathable, durable, and beautiful—each one feels like something special.
A Few of My Favorite Ways to Use a Bandana:
Tie it up, feel like yourself
Hair up? Hair thinning? No time to think? A quick wrap turns your day around and your outfit up a notch.
Neck flair = instant upgrade
Not into jewelry? Knot a bandana around your neck and suddenly that plain tee or button-up feels styled.
Bag buddy
Wrap one around your purse or tote handle for a pop of color.
Gift wrap they’ll actually keep
Use it to wrap a candle, soap, or something tiny and special—it becomes part of the gift, not just the packaging.
A little home styling trick
Line a tray, place under a vase, or drape it somewhere unexpected.
Snack wrap or treasure pouch
Yup, you can fold one around your midday trail mix or stash tiny treasures when traveling light.
