Alperstein Designs Elaine Lane Pet Bandana

Australian Aboriginal Art for Your Four-Legged Friend

Add a little colour and character to your pet's everyday adventures with the Alperstein Designs Elaine Lane Pet Bandana. Made from 100% cotton and featuring Aboriginal artwork by Elaine Lane from Papulankutja Artists, this Australian-made bandana is a stylish accessory designed to attach securely to your pet's collar.

Rather than tying around the neck, the bandana slides directly onto the collar, helping keep it securely in place. Simply slip the collar through the bandana opening and you're ready to go.

Each bandana is slightly unique, with artwork and print placement varying between pieces, so yours may look a little different from the image shown.

About Papulankutja Artists

Papulankutja (Blackstone) is a remote Aboriginal community at the foothills of the Blackstone Ranges in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands of Western Australia.

Papulankutja Artists grew from the community's Women's Centre, where painting was encouraged from 2001. In 2004, the artists registered as an Aboriginal Corporation, enabling them to independently govern their art centre. In 2009, Papulankutja Artists moved into a purpose-built art centre with dedicated spaces for artists to work.

Alongside painting, the artists are known for innovative fibre work and carvings made from local wood, reflecting the creativity and traditions of the community.

How to Attach

1. Slide your pet's collar all the way through the opening of the bandana.
2. Reattach the collar as usual.
3. The bandana remains attached to the collar, so there is no need to tie it around your pet's neck.
