Papel Picado. Wearable.

The cut-paper banners that hang across every Mexican fiesta — those intricate silhouettes, layered colors, and perforated detail — translated into an all-over print your dog actually wears.

This bandana captures the lace-like complexity of papel picado across the full face of the fabric. Soft-spun polyester drapes flat against the chest without bunching, and the triangular shape ties easily over any collar in seconds.

The print is dye-sublimated — ink bonded into the fibers, not printed on top. No cracking, no peeling, no fading. It comes out of the wash looking the same as the day it arrived.

HOW TO WEAR IT

The bandana is already printed in form a triangle. Drape it over your dog's chest with the point facing down, and tie the two ends behind the neck — right over the collar. Adjust the fold width to show more or less of the pattern.

Works just as well under a harness. Tie the bandana first, then clip the harness over it. The fabric sits flat without bunching or shifting.

Choosing your size:
The 20" × 10" fits most dogs under 30 lbs — French Bulldogs, Beagles, Corgis, Dachshunds.

The 27" × 13" works for dogs 30 lbs and up — Labs, Goldens, German Shepherds, Pitties.

Between sizes? Go large. You can always fold it down for a narrower drape.

FAQ

How do I tie this on my dog?
Fold it in half corner-to-corner to make a triangle. Drape the triangle over the chest, point down, and tie the ends behind the neck over the collar. Takes about five seconds once you've done it once.

Which size should I get?
Small fits most dogs under 30 lbs. Large fits 30 lbs and up. If your dog is right on the line, go with the large — you can fold it down for a slimmer look, but you can't make the small one bigger.

Will the print fade after washing?
No. The ink is dye-sublimated, meaning it's bonded into the polyester fibers rather than sitting on the surface. It won't crack, peel, or wash out.

Is the back side printed too?
The print covers the front side only. The back is white. When the bandana is tied on, only the printed side faces outward.

Can my dog wear this with a harness?
Yes. Tie the bandana first, then put the harness on over it. The polyester sits flat under most harness styles.

How is this different from a clip-on bandana?
This is a classic tie-on. No clip, no snaps — you tie it directly over the collar. It gives a more traditional, relaxed look and adjusts to any neck size without worrying about clip compatibility.

THE PAPEL PICADO

Cut From Celebration

Papel picado has marked every Mexican celebration for generations. Birthdays, weddings, Día de los Muertos, Fiestas Patrias — rows of hand-cut tissue paper strung overhead, turning any street into a party.

We took that energy — the layered color, the intricate cutouts, the feeling that something worth celebrating is happening — and printed it edge to edge on a bandana built for your dog.

Every walk becomes a little bit of fiesta.
