CALL IT BY YOUR NAME

CALL IT BY YOUR NAME

Call It By Your Name turns the cotton bandana, a familiar print with no fashion pretension, into totes and pouches finished by hand. Colombe Campana started the label making bandanas for family and friends, and a South Carolina mill still supplies the cloth. The edit is built around that tension between an everyday textile and a personal, handworked object.

Bandana Cloth, Made Personal

Call It By Your Name starts with a textile that already carries associations, the cotton bandana, printed with the pattern usually reserved for handkerchiefs and pocket squares. Hand embroidery and quilting on top of that print make each tote impossible to mistake for a souvenir. The Maxi Basket printed cotton tote bag keeps the print flat and legible, while the Cabas Maxi embroidered quilted printed cotton tote bag adds texture and a heart motif stitched into the seam. Both read as something kept and used, not stored away for special occasions. Look closely at how the panels meet and how the handles sit against a coat before deciding which one earns a place in daily rotation.

A Pouch With A Point Of View

The pouches and the one hat in this group make the case for the label in a smaller, more forgiving format. The Coeur Vanity embroidered bandana-print cotton pouch can live inside a work tote all week, then come out on its own for dinner because the embroidered heart gives it enough presence alone. The Capeline reversible cotton bucket hat lets the print show up somewhere other than a bag, which matters if you already carry one of the totes. Choose by touch and use rather than by matching a full set, and notice the quilting and the placement of the embroidery before anything else. A plain shirt and worn-in denim let a bandana pouch or hat do the talking instead of competing with it.

Our honest take

Call It By Your Name takes an unglamorous starting point, the printed cotton bandana, and treats it as material worth quilting and embroidering by hand rather than mass printing. That choice is what separates the totes and pouches here from a souvenir shop version of the same cloth. Colombe Campana began by making bandanas for people she knew, and the connection to a South Carolina mill gives the print a specific origin instead of a vague nod to heritage. The handwork is the reason to buy one of these pieces rather than a plainer canvas tote, and it also means the bag or pouch should be handled and used, not kept behind glass. Pair the color and stitch with quiet clothes, or let the bandana print answer another patterned piece if you want more contrast. If you take one thing away, pick the tote or pouch whose motif still feels like you once it has softened from daily use. That is where the personal making shows.
