Our Story

It started with a doodle named Sammy

Samdanas Bandanas began in 2020, during the shutdown. I have a beautiful golden doodle named Sammy — Sam plus bandanas became Samdanas, and the name stuck. What started as something to keep my hands busy turned into an overwhelming response to our specialty bandanas.

Today we make reversible bandanas in X-Small through X-Large, matching fabric collars, embroidered shirts and bags, and roll-up travel dog beds. Every product is personally made by me — every single one — with quality fabric, two-sided construction, and a collar pocket sewn right in.

"Every product is handmade by myself. Nothing is outsourced."

I have watched the pet accessory market for years and kept running into the same frustration — poorly made products at very high prices. So I make the thing I wanted to buy: two-sided bandanas in quality fabric, a collar pocket instead of a knot, and personalization thrown in for free.

New fabrics and designs go up all the time, and you will find us at a handful of craft shows around Las Vegas each year. My pricing is fair, honest, and worth every dollar.

Why Samdanas

What makes them different

Handmade by Me 01
Nothing outsourced

Handmade by Me

Every bandana, collar, shirt and travel bed is cut and sewn by me — personally, one at a time. No factories, no drop shipping. Just quality fabric, a sewing machine, and a lot of hours.

Two Bandanas in One

Our bandanas are two-sided, sewn from two different fabrics, so you get two looks for one price. A pocket along the top lets the collar slip right through — no knots, no slipping off mid-walk.

Personalized, No Charge 03

The golden doodle who started it all. Sammy is the namesake, the fit model, and the reason every bandana gets a real-world test walk before the design is finalized.

“The reversible bandana is genius — two looks for one price. The fabric is soft, the pocket keeps it sitting perfectly, and my corgi looks adorable in both prints.”

Frequently asked questions

What size bandana does my dog need?

We make X-Small through X-Large. Measure loosely around your dog's neck and send us the number if you are unsure — and if your pup falls between sizes, we will customize the fit at no extra charge.

How does the bandana stay on?

There is a sewn-in pocket along the top edge. Your dog's collar slides straight through it, so the bandana sits flat and stays put — no tying, no knots working loose on a walk.

Is personalization really free?

Yes. Add your dog's name in the order notes at checkout and we will stitch it in before your order ships. No upcharge, ever.

How long until my order ships?

In-stock items ship in about 3 to 5 business days. Custom fabrics, travel beds and embroidered apparel take roughly 1 to 2 weeks, since each one is made after you order.

Can I request a specific fabric?

Absolutely — custom fabric is one of our favorite requests. Message us with the theme, colors or occasion you have in mind and we will send you options to choose from.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. The two-layer cotton holds up well, but air drying keeps the colors and shape their best.
