Ginew (Gih-noo) is the only Native American-owned, premium denim company in the world. They thoughtfully create hand-built heirloom goods in the USA using old-time methods with a focus on American-made materials. Each item incorporates elements of the founders’ Native American (Ojibwe, Oneida, Mohican) and craftsmen heritage, and is designed to last a life's journey.

We teamed up to design a limited edition bandana with an intricate pattern that pays homage to the founder’s tribe using Oneida skydome and Ojibwe lodges symbols.

The creation of this bandana highlights the collective efforts of Folk Fibers + Ginew + Lou Medel our founder. The fabric is 100% cotton – grown, spun, woven, and sewn in South Carolina. Hand-dyed by the trio in Austin, TX – then discharge printed in Portland, OR.
