Inspired by vintage souvenir scarves and textiles from the 50’s and 60’s, this loose, Scandinavian, hand-drawn art is light hearted and wonderfully nostalgic. Infused with hidden gems of Dayton’s rich narrative, it’s a practical souvenir with a playful twist.
This bandana embodies the unity of art, adventure, and community that makes Dayton shine. A symbol of audacious dreams, daring innovation, and outdoor exploration, it’s a treasure that encapsulates the heart of Sugar Camp and Base Camp Outdoors Co.
