When you purchase a bandana from Bella B's BARK-ery, you're getting more than just a stylish accessory for your dog – you're getting a carefully crafted, two-sided piece made with love and purpose. Made to order by me!
Double-Sided for Double the Style
One of the best features of my bandanas is that most are reversible. With two different designs on each side, you’re essentially getting two looks in one! Whether you want a festive holiday design or something more subtle, simply flip it over, and voila – a fresh look for your pup. It’s perfect for pup parents who love versatility and variety.
Bandana Styles
I primarily offer over-the-collar bandanas, as they’ve proven to be the most popular with my customers and are easy to slide right onto your pup’s existing collar. While most listings default to this style, I also offer snap-on and tie-on options by special request!
Focusing mainly on over-the-collar designs allows me to manage fabric more sustainably, ensuring I’m not over-purchasing. Offering all three styles would require significantly more fabric, which isn't in line with my goal to make each bandana thoughtfully and with minimal waste.
If you see a design you’d like in a different style, feel free to reach out, and I’ll happily see if it’s possible to accommodate your special request!
Over the collar Bandanas
Pros:
- Slides easily over your dog’s collar, staying secure without additional tying or snaps.
- Stays on as long as the collar is on, so it’s less likely to fall off or get lost compared to tie-on or snap-on styles.
- Ideal for everyday wear since it’s easy to put on and take off.
Cons:
- Requires a collar to be worn, which may not work for dogs without a collar or those that wear harnesses only.
- Slightly less adjustable in size compared to tie-on bandanas.
Tie on Bandana
Pros:
- Fully adjustable to get a custom fit; simply tie it to your dog’s comfort level.
- Great option for dogs who don’t wear collars or for special occasions where you want a more decorative look.
Cons:
- Needs to be tied securely, which may not be suitable for dogs that pull or chew on accessories.
- Requires extra care to ensure it’s tied comfortably and safely without restricting movement.
- can feel bulky with the extra fabric.
Bright, Fun, and Unique Designs
I put a lot of thought into the designs I choose for each bandana. I love picking patterns that reflect current trends, but they also need to be cute, fun, and unique.
My favorites are always the ones that are bright and happy, bringing a little extra joy to your dog's look. I also create special occasion bandanas for holidays or events, so if you ever have something custom in mind, don’t hesitate to reach out I’d love to help make your vision come to life!
Personalized Just for Your Pup
Want to make your dog’s bandana even more special? Most of my bandanas can be personalized with your pup’s name! I always try design the bandanas to leave one side for customization. This adds a unique, personal touch to your dog’s bandana, making it truly their own.
Supporting Artists with Every Fabric Purchase
I take great pride in designing my collections and carefully choosing fabrics from talented artists. I’m especially thrilled to share that I’m now designing my own fabric as well! This has been a dream of mine since I started Bella B’s BARK-ery, and it’s incredibly exciting to see my vision come to life on fabric and then on your pup’s bandana.
Each custom pattern reflects my love for creating unique, joyful designs for your dogs, and when you buy a bandana from us, you’re also supporting independent artists and makers.
Your purchase helps them (and me!) continue doing what we love, adding a truly personal and ethical touch to your pup’s wardrobe.
Craftsmanship You Can Feel
All of my bandanas are made from 100% cotton, ensuring they are both breathable and comfortable for your pup. Plus, each bandana is carefully top-stitched. Every stitch reflects the care and attention I put into crafting each piece.
You might be wondering why top-stitching is so important. It’s not just about looks although it certainly adds a polished finish to the bandana! The top-stitching is functional, keeping the fabric from shifting and ensuring that your dog’s bandana holds its shape, even after multiple wears and washes. This extra step in the process guarantees a durable, long-lasting bandana for your pup.
Easy Care Instructions
My bandanas are not only stylish and functional they’re also washable! Here’s how to care for your pup’s personalized bandana:
- Wash in cold water or hand wash with mild soap.
- After washing, lay the bandana flat to dry and gently press it with your hands to smooth it out. (I usually do this on top of a towel to avoid wrinkles!)
- If the bandana needs a quick iron, iron on the side that is not personalized. Be sure to never iron directly on the vinyl, as this will ruin the customization.
With proper care, your dog’s bandana will stay looking great for many adventures to come!
I also accept custom orders for bandanas so if you have something particular you would like let me know!
And as a reminder I donate a portion of my sales to rescues, shelters and community organizations that help dogs in our community and across the country.
