Best for
Choose custom scarves & bandanas if your moment is uniform and hospitality styling, festival, sport and fan merchandise or fashion house and retail launches.
Uniform and hospitality styling
A signature neck scarf in silk twill or satin, printed edge-to-edge in the brand palette, lifts front-of-house uniforms beautifully. Tone-on-tone monogram reads more considered than a centred logo — the kind of detail guests notice without being told to.
Festival, sport and fan merchandise
Sublimated polyester scarves (football-scarf format) and 100% cotton bandanas at 54x54cm are the workhorses — full-colour photographic print, soft hand-feel after first wash, and a price point that holds at festival volume.
Fashion house and retail launches
Printed silk twill scarves with hand-rolled hems make the gift-with-purchase people actually keep. Pair with branded tissue, a wax-sealed card and a rigid gift box — the full unboxing moment, ready for social.
Conference speaker and VIP gifts
A 70x70cm modal or bamboo scarf printed with a considered pattern becomes the speaker gift that travels home. Light enough to pack, generous enough to feel like a real object, and photographs beautifully on LinkedIn.
“We briefed a silk twill scarf for our front-of-house team and the Sense2 studio came back with three artwork directions that actually understood our palette. Guests ask where we had them made — which is exactly the reaction we hoped for.”
“Our festival bandanas arrived a few days ahead of when we needed them, the cotton was softer than expected and the print sat beautifully after the first wash. Delegates were still wearing them on the train home.”
“Customers consistently rate Sense2 for bringing brand thinking and warmth to every project — from brief to launch, with delivery that always lands on time.”

How to choose
Start with how the piece will be worn — that's the part we enjoy most about a scarf brief. A hospitality neck scarf needs drape, so silk twill, satin or modal wins; a festival bandana needs to survive a weekend in a backpack, so 100% cotton at 110-140gsm is the answer. A football-format fan scarf wants sublimated polyester for the photographic colour depth and the stretch that survives being waved in the air for two hours. Print method drives the feel almost as much as the fabric. Edge-to-edge dye sublimation is how you get full-bleed repeat pattern work and photographic imagery — it bonds into the fibre so the hand-feel stays soft. Screen print gives you the cleanest crisp logo on cotton bandanas, especially at 1-3 colours. Digital CMYK is the smart maths for short creative runs under 100 units where setup costs would otherwise dominate. Colour discipline is where creative directors earn their keep. A scarf with the right colour story — campaign accent, tone-on-tone monogram, a single hero illustration anchored in the corner — becomes the piece that lives in someone's wardrobe for years. A scarf with six competing logos goes in the drawer. Our in-house design studio will run two or three artwork directions against your brand palette before you commit. Finish matters on premium pieces. Hand-rolled hems on silk twill add AU$6-$14 per unit but are the detail a retail buyer will run their thumb along. On polyester and cotton we machine-hem or laser-cut; both are clean, neither pretends to be silk. Finally, order a sample. Forty-eight hours from request, printed with a stock pattern or a fast proof of your artwork. The weight, drape and print register tell you everything the spec sheet can't.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb at 100 units with full-colour sublimation: 100% cotton bandana (54x54cm) AU$4.50-$9, rPET bandana AU$5.50-$10, sublimated polyester neck scarf (70x70cm) AU$14-$28, football-format fan scarf AU$11-$22, printed silk twill (70x70cm) AU$45-$95 depending on momme weight and hem finish. At 500 units those tiers drop 25-40%. Hand-rolled hems add AU$6-$14 per unit. Artwork setup AU$75-$150 once-off; digitised strike-off sample AU$95-$180 on premium silk.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for custom scarves and bandanas?▾
Cotton bandanas start at 50-100 units; sublimated polyester scarves at 100; printed silk twill typically 100-250 depending on momme weight. Pilot runs from 25 are possible on selected stock bandanas with a digital print. For 1,000+ briefs expect 30-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask for a stepped quote.
How long do custom scarves and bandanas take to produce and deliver?▾
Standard lead time is 10-20 business days from artwork approval. Sublimated polyester scarves and cotton bandanas can run 5-7 business days on express; silk twill with hand-rolled hems sits at the longer end because the finishing is handwork. We'll confirm timing per brief before you commit.
What printing methods do you offer on scarves and bandanas?▾
Edge-to-edge dye sublimation is our most common method for polyester and recycled polyester — full-colour, photographic, soft hand-feel. Screen print (1-6 colour) is ideal for crisp logos on cotton bandanas. Digital CMYK suits short runs. Premium silk twill is printed digitally and can be finished with hand-rolled or machine hems.
Can I see a sample of a scarf or bandana before I order?▾
Yes. Stock samples ship within 48 hours Australia-wide so you can feel the fabric weight and drape. Printed strike-offs with your actual artwork are available on larger runs — AU$95-$180 on silk, faster and lower on cotton and polyester. After 30 years of textile briefs, we know the hand-feel decides it.
Do you offer eco-friendly scarves and bandanas?▾
Yes. Our eco range includes 100% organic cotton bandanas, bamboo and modal scarves, and recycled polyester (rPET) formats. GOTS-certified organic cotton and OEKO-TEX options are available on request. We'll route the brief to the right substrate based on your sustainability story and audience.
What sizes do custom scarves and bandanas come in?▾
Standard bandana is 54x54cm (22" square); neck scarf 70x70cm; long scarf 35x150cm; pocket square 30x30cm; football-format fan scarf 180x90cm. Custom sizes are available on runs over 250 units — useful for head-wraps, tie-on bag scarves, or oversized wearable prints for retail.
