Dog Bandanas

Once upon a time you would not find a green bandana anywhere in the market. As a matter of act, you would not be able to find bandanas being sold in fashion stores. They were to be found only in farmers’ pockets and probably industrial workers used them. The common colors at the time were blue and red. However, they are now available in a wide array of fabrics, sizes, colors and patterns. They are no longer for the pocket used as handkerchiefs. People use them as accessories to emphasize their outfits and even to decorate their homes and pets. These simple square-shaped cloths have numerous uses, some you could not begin to imagine.
