Ben’s incredible vintage-inspired designs caught our eye when we were looking for a logo, so we asked him to create something special for us. From the moment we saw his first rough pencil sketches of our BANDITS logo, we knew it was a match made in graphic design heaven. After he created such a timeless and perfect logo, we knew we had to have him create a design for our launch collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBen told us that he takes cues from design and typography from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, and indeed his creations feel transported a bygone era. True to form, he still draws most of his illustrations by hand before digitally converting them. Ben’s logos, illustrations, and designs have appeared on work for brands like Yeti, Knickerbocker Manufacturing Co., Sable Bourbon, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Design: \"Good Luck\"\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is inspired by trying times in life and the ways in which we find comfort or hope to get through them.

Eric’s tireless creative energy fits perfectly within the bustle of his adopted home of Brooklyn, and you’d be hard-pressed  to find something about the city he doesn’t love (seriously, he even created a playing card series celebrating the rats, pigeons, cockroaches, and bodega cats that call the city home).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Eric’s words, “New York is just so visually stimulating, no matter what you’re looking at.” He told us that he is constantly fascinated by the unheralded, day-to-day, block-to-block minutiae of New York, and uses that as inspiration to fuel his almost endless list of creative pursuits.

In Chinatown, restaurants and other businesses were shuttering or due to racism and xenophobia, weeks before the government-mandated closures. Adding to the pain - an overwhelming majority of these operations are cash-only, immigrant-run microbusinesses that could not qualify for PPP or other government relief loans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEric chose Send Chinatown Love because it was born to help these businesses that are the heart and soul of the Chinese community in the City. The organization provides an easy-to-implement digital platform that gives over 7,000 Chinatown restaurants (who otherwise wouldn’t have one) a web presence and online ordering capability. By creating a digital community for Chinatown’s restaurants, the organization hopes to bring economic relief and future sustainability to this overlooked immigrant community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstagram: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFacebook: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeb: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sendchinatownlove.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Bandana \u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize:     21\" x 21\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabric:  100% Organic Cotton,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.global-standard.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGOTS Certified\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand sustainably sourced in India from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.chetnaorganic.org.in\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChetna Organic\u003c\/a\u003e, pre-washed for an extra soft feel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake:   Printed, Cut, Sewn, and Packaged by hand at a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fairtradecertified.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFair Trade Certified\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efacility in Kolkata, West Bengal, India (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flocert.net\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFLOCERT\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFLO ID 4512)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash:   Hand or Machine Wash Cold with like colors, Line or Tumble Dry, Warm Iron, Do Not Bleach\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that all of our bandanas are printed, cut, and sewn by hand.
