“Due North”
Fall ’23 “Coldwater Collection.” This new bandana release is centered around the chilly oceans, rivers, and alpine lakes of Northern North America. From Anchorage to Ogunquit, from the PNW to Prince Edward Island, from Portland to well… Portland -- we’re asking artists to create designs inspired by the majestic animals, landscape, and waterways North of the 42nd latitude.
Understory
These bandanas are sold only at REI stores (142+ locations across the US) and on rei.com, and are designs inspired by REI’s mission to “inspire, educate and outfit for a lifetime of outdoor adventure and stewardship.”
