The History of “Bandannas” – yes, the original correct spelling with two N’s!
The word bandanna comes from the Hindi bandhna, meaning “to tie.” Originating in India, early bandannas were made using tie-dye techniques and used for both decoration and protection.
By the 17th century, these colorful cloths reached Europe and later colonial America, where they became popular accessories. In the 19th century, they were widely used by cowboys in the American West. Over-time, bandannas took on a symbolic role as American’s very own wearable accessory, especially in political movements, music, entertainment, cultural statements to fashion accessories and of course as your artistly branded promotional product go-to on every advertising campaign for people to pets.
Regardless of the use of one or two N’s in the name “Bandanna or Bandana” means the same thing – The Original American Square!
