No. 140 Marble Bandana

Very Thin

I was super excited for this collection to launch, I bought this one asap because I was in love with its unique design and vibrancy. That is why I am sad to say this bandana really disappointed me. Out of all 12 Handker bandanas I own, this one is the thinnest and most see through of them all. The quality of the print is lacking, it's like blurry in a way? I am not sure if maybe one slipped through the cracks and I just got a bandana that's a bit thinner than the others or not. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt considering I love all their other products. When folded over, I can see the design under right through it and I feel like it makes it look really muddy. Because of how thin it is, it's less vibrant / lower contrast than what's shown in the listing, even when on a white background. I've attached pics of what it looks like folded, the thinness of it, and one of my other bandanas for reference. The other bandana I am comparing it to is No. 114 Eleanor, which I would consider my second thinnest bandana besides this one. With Eleanor, however, the thinness is not an issue because the pattern is mirrored/symmetrical and the colors are more muted so it's more forgiving and the design doesn't "bleed" through to the other side like this one does. I have no issue with Eleanor and actually wear that one often, but frankly I can't see myself being happy to wear this marbled one with these noticable issues. I just think that for almost $20 for this bandana, the fabric should be just a smidge thicker so that the print has a more opaque base to lay on, and for said print to be crisp and clear.
