“Hikuri Poppy” 90 x 90

This bandana is something I’ve wanted to create from the very beginning. We’ve always loved cacti in this region—ever since childhood, and also from more recent trips to the deserts of the Southwest, we’ve been captivated by their shapes and grandeur. The form of the saguaro is just as defining to the landscape as the mesas. Along with that fascination, we’ve also been interested in the peyote (Lophophora) cactus. Having some familiarity with Huichol culture, I felt it deserved a name that reflects that connection.

I wanted to create a design that feels like a roadside souvenir from the Southwest, mixed with the spirit of a road trip. Something like a bandana that could appear in a novel by Hunter S. Thompson, combined with the colors of Carl Riddin’s paintings—something a character from a David Lynch film might wear.

Reprinted from One Ear Brand official site

"Hikuri" means peyote (a type of cactus) in the Huichol language.

Hikuri = Peyote is not just a plant; it is a sacred being and spirit for the Huichol people.

While drawing inspiration from Huichol culture, the design also incorporates a subtle cheapness with its souvenir-like feel. The fantastic and psychedelic colors create a striking impression.

I met Jonathan at the recent exhibition, and he taught me how to tie a bandana.

Please use it as a reference.

Our original scarf rings, which can be used with bandanas, are also on sale.

We will be expanding our variations of both bandanas and scarf rings, so stay tuned!
