This bandana was created in partnership with Natalie (@thegolden_sonny) as a way to honor her brother and bring awareness to mental health.

100% of the profits of the Ralph bandana will go toward National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

Cali Fluff Co. bandanas are handmade in California–they are secured with a snap, making it easier to take them on and off, but still durable enough they stay on during play or beach romps. All of our bandanas come with our signature CFC tag. Please make sure to review the sizing prior to purchasing–if your fluffy friend is between sizes we recommend sizing up as you can always fold down and double tie the bandana for a customized fit.

If your pup is floofier and on the cusp of sizes, size up.

For the third year now, Cali Fluff Co. (Kayla) and I (thegolden_sonny/Natalie) have teamed up to create the Ralph bandana. It’s been a huge success the last two years, and I love seeing all the smiles shared around the world. This year, we chose a fun pop of color—Ralph’s favorite color: orange. A few years ago, I lost my big brother, Ralph, to mental illness. He had the best sense of humor and truly put a smile on everyone’s face. He was my best friend, and I found myself laughing and smiling a bit less after he passed. Today, I cherish the moments and people that make me laugh a little more. My hope is that you all can do the same.

The bandana and new sweatshirt launch in February, a special month for me and my family as we celebrate my brother's birthday. On the 22nd, it would have been his 29th birthday. He loved animals, and our family dog at the time became his best companion until his last day. Dogs provide pure, unconditional love and are happy with the simplest aspects of life. I think they can truly teach us all a lesson.

So, this is how the Ralph bandana came to be. Although simple, a smile is all a person needs sometimes. My hope is that this bandana can serve as a reminder to all to be kind. I know not everyone knew Ralph, but to honor him, I’ve always tried to spread the same smiles he would have today. A special thank you to @califluffco for working with me on this idea over the years. This will always be a special bandana to me, and I appreciate any and all support. Please share photos of your pups (and/or yourself) smiling using the hashtag #RalphSmiles.

We recommend spot cleaning if trying to remove a stain. Our 100% cotton bandanas you can wash your bandanas in the washer with cool water on delicate, lay flat to dry. You may iron on low if you'd like. 

Our more delicate fabrics, and embroidered bandanas we recommend handwashing, laying flat to dry and iron on low if needed.

All of Cali Fluff Co.'s products are handmade–therefore slight variations may occur which can include pattern placement, size, color and shape.
