The Moonstruck sailor bow was our first BFW purchase. A bow that could easy be transferred from collar to collar and keep up with all of Hazel's antics was of utmost importance to us. This bow has exceeded all expectations, it is not only beautifully made but I know will stand up to the energy of a puppy and a dog mom who takes her dog along on all of her adventures!

We are so obsessed with Kai’s first bowtie! It is so well made with the softest fabric and perfect for Valentine’s Day. We’ll definitely add more bowties to his collection in the near future!

Video summary: Each product is not only made by me but packaged by me also.

So all my products are handmade, packed and shipped by me with as much compostable, recyclable and reusable packaging that I could think of.

Hello everyone! My name is Hannah and I am the maker behind But First, West. BF West started in my very own home in the weeks before taking home my first puppy! And that's where this whole thing was imagined :) Every bandana is made and packed by me! I am working on expanding with new designs and new ideas, so thank you for following along and providing support on my journey!

Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalized orders

If you would like a custom XXS or XL order please contact my shop and I am happy to send you a link for a custom order as long as I have the fabric in stock. Please know that all custom orders unfortunately are not eligible for return.

Sizing details

All my sizes are listed from XS - L in each bandana link as a photograph! Take a look at the length and height of the bandana. The loop length varies depending how tight or lose you tie the two ends. Are you in between sizes and not sure which to get? Contact my shop and I can help you out with which size I think will be perfect for your pup!

Care instructions

For all our cotton fabrics we recommend machine wash cold on delicate, tumble dry low. If the fabric is cotton Oxford we do not recommend drying. Please note washing the item will cause natural wear to the leather tag. Do not use bleach. Do not iron the leather tag. *Disclaimer: If you decide to purchase a custom iron on transfer with your bandana, washing can cause it to become worn over time and degrade in quality. To preserve the print of the iron on transfer, wash infrequently. Do not iron over the transfer, do not dry clean.

Gift wrapping and packaging

If you are ordering multiple bandanas and want them packaged in separate boxes individually just let us know! Contact our shop and we are happy to wrap them individually, include a print out Etsy "gift message" or even a hand written message if you prefer. All items are packaged inside a cardboard sleeve complete with a business card, a BF West logo sticker and a single dog treat with a discount code for one of our favorite treat companies!
