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.

The coyote, a ubiquitous symbol for the region, is highlighted in the design looking rather fertile, with a bouquet of flowers. In Lauren's words, \"Although the Southwest appears barren to the naked eye, closer examination and knowledge reveal a hearty, thriving ecosystem. This strength and perseverance through particularly harsh conditions is a perfect analogy for the current state of womxn’s rights. The title “Endless Bloom” is a nod to the resilience of womxn and our ability for growth through adversity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this series and her design, it’s also especially important to Lauren to acknowledge this region’s past. In particular, the history of violence against and decimation of Indigenous people. \"As a queer white woman, I recognize my privilege and I always want to be mindful and respectful of how I am taking up space. For my design in particular, I would be remiss to not include that the use of geometric patterning is reminiscent of motifs made by traditional Navajo weavers. It’s important to me to highlight this connection, because so often the influence of these cultures simply stolen without attribution or erased. Furthermore I acknowledge that I am living on Tonkawan, Comanche, and Lipan Apache land.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39809356759155,"sku":"BAN78","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/products\/endlessbloom-bandits_0677.jpg?v=1648774293"},{"product_id":"cactus-dream","title":"\"Cactus Dream\"","description":"lklk","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41200534257779,"sku":"BAN126","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/files\/cactusdream_bandits_6390.jpg?v=1710135605"},{"product_id":"nuestra-nopal-divinx","title":"\"Nuestro Nopal Divinx\"","description":"lklk","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41200534913139,"sku":"BAN127","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/files\/nuestronopal_bandits_6406.jpg?v=1710137374"},{"product_id":"fun-in-the-sun","title":"\"Fun In The Sun\"","description":"","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42641194877043,"sku":"BAN164","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/files\/funinthesun_bandits_0088.jpg?v=1740533035"},{"product_id":"el-rito-nights","title":"\"El Rito Nights\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"El Rito Nights\" Bandana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign By Jess Mudgett\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10% To: Five Valleys Land Trust\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43046932512883,"sku":"BAN171","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/files\/desert_2377.jpg?v=1756158609"},{"product_id":"new-moon","title":"New Moon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"New Moon\" Organic Cotton Bandana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign By: Kelly Wills aka Brainflower Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharity Supported: Green Hill Humane Society\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213286699123,"sku":"BAN197","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/files\/2_147db461-7bb7-4536-b794-4feba19c59ac.png?v=1773009725"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/collections\/Screen_Shot_2021-06-21_at_3.28.05_PM.png?v=1624314500","url":"https:\/\/banditsbandanas.mom\/collections\/minimalist.oembed","provider":"Bandits Bandanas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
