Sushi-Themed Bandanas

Kapital's Unusual Accessories Feature a Series of Colorful Surreal Graphics

— November 2, 2016 — Fashion
A creative label that's based out of Japan, Kaptial added to its offerings with a selection of sushi-themed bandanas that function well as either a statement accessory or a small tapestry.

Although some of the designs are a little more subtle in appearance, marked by artful geometric patterns and complementary colors, others are adorned with graphics that verge on nightmarish. In one of the sushi-themed bandanas, Kapital includes four sinister-looking eels that are shown coiling around a bundle of rice, whereas another shows a large feline at its center. Surrounding it are the words "DON'T RETURN THE EMPTY PLATES TO THE BELT!" -- which is included within a banner. Each has a unique sense of character, playing with old-school illustrations and well-known logos.
