This bandana's design, by graphic and typeface designer James Coffman, is a nod to ways in which we strive to form community, even when we may be physically apart. The individual figures in the design dance and contort themselves into new, unfamiliar positions. But, like pieces of a puzzle turned around to try to find a fit, the figures ultimately intertwine to create a recognizable whole. The design is flanked by a Latin phrase meaning “At The Same Time, One”.

Detox Your Place: Room By Room Remedies For Nontoxic Living

In our quest for the long-lasting and the well-made, we occasionally come across vintage treasures that embody everything we love about items made in a bygone era: natural materials, solid craftsmanship, and good design.
We recently acquired a collection of vintage brooms from a member of the Evans Family, owners of an American broom shop. A salesman, craftsman, and collector, our supplier traveled the world gathering brooms, whisks, and dusters. With each piece he acquired, he studied its composition and the techniques with which it was made in an effort to improve his craft.
We like this collection of whisk brooms for their practicality, their good construction, and the quirky hand-crafted touches that make each one unique. In addition to these medium whisk brooms, we offer small, large, and extra large sizes, as well as red and black whisk brooms.

Materials: broomcorn, metal, coated string
Made by: The Evans Family
Made in: USA
Specifications: Approximately 8" long from tip of handle to bottom of bristles (± a couple inches)
* Each whisk broom is one of a kind. Relative size, shape, color of string, handle construction and design details will differ *
