The title of Paloma's design translates to \"Our Divine Nopal,\" and indeed this edible cactus species also known as \"Opuntia\" or \"Prickly Pear\" is one of the fundamental symbols of Mexico dating back to the time of the ancient Aztecs. The Aztecs considered it a sacred \"planta de vida\" (life-giving plant) for it's health benefits, drought-tolerance, and the fact that it's fallen leaves can form new plants. It was adopted as a symbol of the life-rebirth cycle found in many ancient Mexican myths, and are central to Mexican folklore and art today. Nopales remain a modern day staple, found in everything from health and beauty products to biofuel. Growing up in Dallas as a child of immigrant parents, Paloma explained that she was often not proud of her culture, and would shy away from her Mexican heritage in an attempt to assimilate or \"Americanize.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlways Original:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bandanas feature exclusive, never-before-seen designs created by incredible artists from all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGives Back:\u003c\/strong\u003e For every bandana sold, Bandits donates 10% of proceeds to charities chosen by the artists they work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConscious Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bandits Bandanas are hand made, fair trade certified and built from sustainably-sourced, 100% organic cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Organic Cotton, GOTS Certified and sustainably sourced in India from Chetna Organic, pre-washed for an extra soft feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted, Cut, Sewn, and Packaged by hand at a Fair Trade Certified facility in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. \u003cem\u003e(Please note that there may be slight sizing and color variations from product to product.)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 21 x 21 inch bandana.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash cold with like colors, line or tumble dry, warm iron, do not bleach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bandits Bandanas","offers":[{"title":"Nuestra Nopal Divinx","offer_id":46135028285623,"sku":"BAN126-CA-1","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/2691\/7047\/files\/2628_source_1710814616.jpg?v=1773009302","url":"https:\/\/thealpinistas.com\/products\/bandits-bandanas-nuestra-nopal-divinx","provider":"Alpinistas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
