Collectors of almost anything, from vintage fuzz boxes to limited pressings on coloured vinyl, carry a mental checklist before they part with money. Is it genuine? Does it sit well with the collection? What exactly turns up in the post? Those questions travel surprisingly well when the purchase is a printed bandana for the dog.
Here are the ones worth running through for a bandana that carries your own pet instead of a stock pattern.
What is the fabric, and how does it close?
It is polyester all the way through and closes with a buckle; nobody has to knot a triangle of cloth while your dog edges towards the door. The artwork is sublimated, meaning heat drives it into the polyester rather than leaving it sitting on the surface.
How do I work out the size?
Three sizes are listed against neck measurements. Small covers necks from about 35 cm up to 44, medium spans about 39 to 51, and large stretches across about 42 to 56. Because those bands overlap, put a tailor’s tape round the neck and go with whichever size puts your figure squarely in the middle, not teetering on an end.
Why not a paisley scarf from the shop?
A checked or paisley scarf can look neat enough, but it tells nobody a thing about the dog under it. If you are hunting for a dog bandana singapore owners can personalise from scratch, Little Red Cute begins with one photo that you upload. Settle on a style next; from there your dog’s illustration is worked up out of the upload, with the name worked into the design. You then get to look over the finished bandana on screen. It is only charged once you are happy and say go, and nothing gets produced before then. Every bandana is produced in Singapore against its own order.
That preview is what wins over a collector’s mind. Rather than hoping a stock print happens to suit your dog, you are judging your own dog and making the call.
Can it be washed?
Yes: the bandana was made to be washed, handy for something that tags along to the park.
Which photo should I send?
Go for a crisp one taken in decent light, showing the whole face with your dog looking roughly your way. The phone in your pocket takes a perfectly usable picture, so there is no need to book anyone. Skip images where shadow hides the face or the head is turned well away.
Work through those five questions and placing the order takes a few minutes, leaving more time for watching the dog strut around in it.
