A Square Piece of Multi-Purpose Purple

If you've already visited some of my other colorful bandana pages, you've seen me extoll the many virtues and uses of bandanas, from nose-wiping to first aid applications to ponytail holders and headbands. (Oh, but I don't think I've mentioned how well they work as toilet paper if you really have no other option.)

I personally have at least a dozen bandanas at present, and, while red is the most prevalent color in my collection, I do have a special purple bandana that I've carried with me for more than ten years, ever since my Appalachian Trail thru-hike. And it doesn't seem to have lost any of its purpleness, even after so many washings. It's just a really soft purple bandana.

You can see this particular dark purple bandana pictured above on Amazon.

Here are a bunch of other purple bandanas for you to peruse....
