The Trekky Bandana: The Sandal That Defined Arizona Love
Considered the house's essential signature piece, the Trekky bandana is the iconic creation that revealed Arizona Love to the fashion world. Instantly recognizable thanks to its cotton straps dressed in the traditional printed pattern, this design offers a sleek, modern line. Its meticulous craftsmanship and timeless allure make it a versatile piece capable of elevating your silhouette in the city or on a summer getaway. The structure rests on an ergonomic EVA sole measuring 1.5 cm at the front and 2.5 cm at the back, offering supple cushioning and exceptional walking comfort throughout the day. It is the perfect marriage between the casual ease of an open-toe sandal and the presence of a statement shoe.
The Bandana Motif: Origins and Contemporary Return
Inseparable from the Wild West imagery, the bandana pattern draws its origins from the famous paisley print worn by Arizona cowboys and pioneers. A true symbol of independence, this cotton scarf has crossed decades to become a universal, timeless style signifier. By reinterpreting this heritage print across our summer footwear collections, Arizona Love executes a creative return to roots that celebrates the spirit of travel. This graphic print provides immediate visual depth, infusing a bohemian, daring, and authentic touch into every stride.
Bandana Shoes: Collection Colorways
Our wardrobe unfolds bandana footwear across seven exclusive variations tailored to every style preference:
- Trekky — Available colors: Black, White, Leopard on black background — Main material: Cotton & REPREVE recycled fiber straps
- Candy — Available colors: Orange, Yellow, Red, Green — Main material: 100% Cotton
Cotton and Recycled Materials: What Goes Into the Sandal
Every pair is the result of careful craftsmanship prioritizing high-quality components. Our designs feature 100% cotton fabric backed by durable polyester thread assembly, mounted on a lightweight, shock-absorbing EVA sole. Handcrafted with care, our pieces belong to a conscious, responsible creation process. The Trekky line illustrates this environmental commitment: its upper textile straps are made using REPREVE certified recycled fibers, directly manufactured from upcycled plastic bottles. This guarantees a long-lasting creation without compromising on shoe flexibility or elegance.
How to Choose the Right Size for Your Bandana Sandals
To enjoy optimal comfort from the first wear, choosing the correct size for this carefully engineered design is essential. Please note that the Trekky model runs small: we strongly advise selecting one size up from your usual shoe size, taking into account international size equivalents if needed. The precise construction of the EVA sole—available from EU 36 to EU 42—requires a comfortable margin so the foot sits perfectly without spilling over the edges. If you wish to check the exact length of the inner sole before confirming your choice, you can consult the detailed measurements available on our size guide or contact our customer service team. Finally, this product stands out for its high-quality materials that enhance the model's flexibility.
How to Wear Bandana Sandals
As a true centerpiece of the summer wardrobe, bandana sandals pair effortlessly with your outfits, adding an instant dose of character. For a poetic, feminine silhouette, style a black Trekky with a fluid maxi dress, allowing the print to structure your stride. For an urban mood, pair your sandals with raw denim slightly cuffed at the ankle to reveal the woven cotton detailing. On a summer getaway, wear your open-toe sandals with linen shorts and an open cotton shirt layered over swimwear for a radiant look. Feel free to explore our house's entire bandana universe by matching your footwear with our bandana ready-to-wear or carrying one of our bandana tote bags. To vary your style throughout the season, also explore all our women's sandals and our range of flats sandals.
