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. Whether it’s playing music, taking photos, cooking, or creating physical products for his own brand Alone Time Co. – Eric always seems to be making something new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the rare times he’s not creating, you’ll find Eric biking, running, picnicking, or just taking in the scene at Prospect Park, and loving every minute. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eInstagram: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeb: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Design: \"State Of Mind\"\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEric’s “State Of Mind” design is an ode to the subtle, everyday scenery of the City. It is his celebration of the mundane, yet beautiful moments that keep him falling in love with New York over and over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevolving around a lyric from Nas’ quintessential \u003cem\u003eIllmatic \u003c\/em\u003ealbum, it evokes the feeling of a walk across the Manhattan Bridge into the City. Eric sets the scene: Hip-hop plays in your headphones. A crowd of people rushes around you all with somewhere to go. Out of the corner of your eye, framed by a hole in the padlock-covered chain-link fence, you catch a glimpse of Lady Liberty’s torch, and you feel a little bit more inspired for the rest of your day.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Charity: Send Chinatown Love\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn March 2020, as the ripple effects of pandemic-related lockdowns took their toll on small businesses across the City, one area was hit particularly hard. 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.

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":"get-lost","title":"\"Get Lost\"","description":"\"Get Lost\" Bandana by Allie Vaughan","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40373025833075,"sku":"BAN93","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/products\/getlost_2936.jpg?v=1665466992"},{"product_id":"summer-breeze","title":"\"Summer Breeze\"","description":"\"Summer Breeze\" Organic Cotton Bandana","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40853480603763,"sku":"BAN121","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/files\/SummerBreeze_Edit.png?v=1693945083"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/8853\/collections\/Screen_Shot_2021-06-21_at_3.31.48_PM.png?v=1624314723","url":"https:\/\/banditsbandanas.mom\/collections\/social-justice-rights.oembed","provider":"Bandits Bandanas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
