# Branded Bandana Shirts Gimme 5 Released a Series of Button-Ups with the Elephant Bandana Design By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-09-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandana-design References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/9/gimme-5-cut-sew-bandana-shirt) & [intelligencemagazine](http://www.intelligencemagazine.com/news/2016/9/15/gimme-5-cut-sew-bandana-shirt) The 'Elephant' brand is known for its expansive history of bandana design, making its products one of the most recognizable amongst competitors. In addition to the patterns that perforate the fabric, the Elephant brand is celebrated for its highly durable cotton that won't fray on fade over time. Looking to tribute this, 'Gimme 5,' a London-based creative agency, created three different shirts that are built from the Elephant brand's bandana designs. Available in navy, black and red, the [button-ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-made-drop) are available for a limited time only. Although a little bold for some, the unique bandana design has a western feel that makes it great for male consumers who are looking for a [statement piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eric-emanuel-1) to add to their wardrobe. Considering the longevity of the bandanas that each is constructed from, its likely that the shirts will last years as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bandana-inspired Fashion:** Fashion industry can innovate by exploring the incorporation of intricate bandana designs into clothing items. - **Sustainable Fabric Clothing:** Clothing companies can improve their sustainability by creating products out of highly durable and eco-friendly materials like cotton used for Elephant bandanas. - **Limited-edition Clothing Drops:** Fashion brands can generate hype around their products by releasing highly anticipated and limited edition collections or items, like the Gimme 5 button-up shirts. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can use bandana designs as an inspiration for new products and sustainable/limited-edition clothing drops as an innovative approach to engage their consumers. - **Textile:** Textile industry can collaborate with fashion brands to supply non-fraying, eco-friendly, and longer-lasting materials, like the cotton used for Elephant bandanas, for clothing production. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can help fashion brands enhance their brand image by creating unique and bold designs that appeal to a target audience in a limited-edition or exclusive manner. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elephant-Inspired Charitable Fashion Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elephant-family-usa.md) - [Music-Honoring Shirt Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eton-1.md) - [Iconic Rock Band-Inspired Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beatles-collection.md) - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md) - [Legacy Artist-Themed T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1.md) - [Burger Branded Button-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbh.md) - [Designer-Approved Western Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dapper-dan-1.md) - [Laidback Indigo-Dyed Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-mason-indigodipped-collection.md) - [Artistic Amaro Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/see-the-elephant-amaro.md)
