Retro Bandanas for Summer 2018 by Inkabilly

We are loving the early hot weather here in the UK ... and we think it's time to get your hair up for Summer and stay cool and cute in the heat! Our new retro prints are just perfect for getting your hair up and out of your way while maintaining your vintage style. This month we launched four new bandanas to keep you looking stylish while strutting your stuff in the sunshine!

Our bandanas are hand-made to original 1950s dimensions, so are super versatile and suitable for all retro styling.

We're particularly in love with the mouthwatering watermelons which is super vibrant and fun!

And if you like things a bit fruity, we also have super cute strawberries ... fabulous for wearing with retro swing dresses.

If you're looking for a more subtle tropical look, we've got this pretty floral denim print with white hibiscus flowers
