Modern / Present day | Quirk You Are a Star Bandana

Handmade to order · 100% silk or cotton · Three square sizes

A yellow star with cat-eye sunglasses and black boots, drawn in watercolor pens by Quirk founder and designer Melynda. “You Are a Star” puts her original character on a white silk or cotton bandana for your hair, neck or bag. Choose matte cotton for a crisp fold or silk satin for a soft, lustrous drape; the character looks equally at home beside denim or a tailored jacket.

Compare dimensions in inches and centimeters before choosing your fabric and size. One bandana per order; coordinating pieces sold separately.

Price range: $65.00 through $168.00

Description

This star print bandana has a character of its own: a yellow star in cat-eye sunglasses and black boots. Quirk founder and designer Melynda drew “You Are a Star” by hand with watercolor pens. Asked whether the character is a boy or a girl, her answer is simple: “It’s a star!”

Repeated across a white ground, the drawing brings a little irreverence to a silk or cotton square. Wear it over your hair with a tailored jacket, roll it into a narrow neck scarf, or tie it to a bag handle. The black outlines and yellow stars hold their own against denim, leather and a clean white shirt.

A star print bandana in cotton or silk

Choose the fabric for the way you want to wear it. 100% cotton lawn has a light, matte finish and a little structure. 100% silk satin is smoother and more fluid, with a lustrous surface. Both carry the same original artwork and are handmade to order.

  • Original “You Are a Star” artwork by Melynda
  • Yellow, black and white print
  • Choice of 100% cotton or 100% silk
  • Three square sizes; one bandana per order

Choose your dimensions

The size selector uses Children, Adult and Adult Large as labels. Compare the measurements below with a scarf you already wear; the dimensions are more useful than the age label for deciding how you want to tie it. A smaller square makes a compact neck scarf or bag accent, while a larger square gives you more fabric to fold and knot.

Style the print together

The photographs show the bandana with coordinating clothing and accessories, sold separately. For the matching print in an evening accessory, see the You Are a Star opera gloves. The headscarf view from behind shows the drawing and border most clearly; the flat lay shows the full square.

Care and ordering

Wash at 30°C / 86°F and use low heat for drying and ironing, following the care label supplied with your chosen fabric. Check your fabric and dimensions before ordering.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

One of the coolest places I’ve stumbled upon thus far. Unlike some other vintage stores where it feels like it’s full of marked-up Goodwill items, Melynda takes the time to research and select all the items she puts out in the store. When I stopped by, she even let me look through some items she hadn’t put out yet, and I found a really cool vintage Western button-up. The men’s section is not neglected either, full of some really cool shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other accessories. If you’re looking to find a unique piece in a friendly environment, this is the place for you.

Upon having dinner in DTLA a friend and I stumbled upon QUIRK, what a treasure of a vintage store. A hidden gem!!! An insider's secret.. but not for long. Loved Melynda's eye for well curated vintage clothing and accessories. Working as a stylist in Films and Editorial, Melynda is defintely on point. Instantly we felt right at home in her inviting shop. From designer to hard to find vintage, its all there. What a happy find!!!

Quirk is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel like you’ve inherited the wardrobe of a rich, eccentric aunt who traveled the world and kept all the best pieces. Every rack feels intentional, lived in, and full of personality. Nothing feels random. Each item has a story, and you can sense it the moment you start browsing. The bag selection alone is worth the stop. There are so many standout pieces that feel like true finds, not just resale. The kind of bags you don’t see twice. What really makes this place special is the owner, Melynda. She’s genuinely fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what she curates. You can tell there’s pride and care behind every piece in the shop. Talking with her about vintage fashion and the stories behind the items made the experience feel personal, not transactional. This ended up being one of the coolest spots I stumbled into in the fashion district. If you appreciate vintage that feels curated and soulful rather than picked over, Quirk is a must.

Shop filled with vintage and new clothing curated by a pro at helping you look good. Easy to access, clean and neat and very cool. If you don't know how cool Los Angeles is, stop by here and get an introduction and some clothes and accessories.

5 stars for what they are doing for the community but not for my personal experience. They were listed on the wildfire Google sheet / website as one of the few places still accepting donations, so I brought all my unworn clothes over. The address on the website and online is not the correct one, so had to get back in my car and find new parking closer to the new location. Then I get inside and they said donations are by appointment only. 30 minute drive and a lot of parking hassle with nothing to show for it. Would be nice if they updated their donation status and location on the Google sheet. Annoying for me but glad they are helping those in need. The new location is in the photo.

Where shall I begin? My cuz and I went because we lost everything in the fire! Trent greeted us, Carmen helped me snd Allison my cuz. They treated us like Gold! We both felt very special! What a gem of a place! Everything I took home fit. The clothes were fabulous but Trent was so cool and cute, Carmen was so very helpful going out if her way for me and Allison helped my cousin hand pick his new wardrobe and not to mention she was gorgeous to boot! Thank you Quirk, Thanks for going above and beyond and for restoring my faith in humanity! Margo and Raul

Melinda who started and runs Quirk the people free boutique is so amazing upbeat and selfless to continue to help all of us that lost our homes. Quirk has been a loving space for me to get help to start over again and a big part of my healing journey I have visited a couple of times and found wonderful clothes to help me get back to work and visit my son at college. It is organized, clean and has great donations. I am forever grateful and count Melinda as a new friend. I also met many other fire victims and ran into old friends. Had been a wonderful place for me as I begin my healing journey. 5 stars plus another 5 stars.

I had the pleasure of stumbling upon Quirk fairly recently and I am most certainly delighted I found this little gem! Located on a busy downtown street, its colorful, unique vintage items are arranged and merchandised well! For a small space, a diverse range of eclectic items will most certainly entice you! Trust me, ya won't leave without buying a little keeper! I love the Seven 4 all Mankind Tight pencil skirt I found and I have some items on hold I can't wait to get! The Owner/Stylist, Melynda is an absolute doll, and a pleasure to chat with as you browse the items, If you are a vintage fanatic or Fashionista, check this place out! Tiny but lots of little treasures that are reasonably priced!

I helped out the Free People's Boutique by Quirk by sorting racks and registering shoppers on a Saturday. It was a humbling experience. I was asked to pass on so much gratitude to Melynda and her team by every guest I had the pleasure to assist.

A hidden GEM! There’s so many vintage treasures left and right; from accessories to jackets to skirts. I was in there for a handful of hours trying on some amazing vintage, designer pieces and it felt like a dream! The owner, Melynda, was so sweet and encouraging when I was choosing my final purchases. I’m so happy I ran into this place and found some great pieces to add to my wardrobe!
