For nearly five decades, under the cover of darkness on February 13th, the Valentine Bandit has hung hundreds of simple red hearts on buildings across Portland to spread love and warmth during the depths of Maine’s long winters. 

This recurring tradition of communal love and kindness, an act distinct in its anonymity and simplicity, inspired the minimalist polka-heart pattern of our second kit. The repeated red hearts, set against a white background, are a tribute to the small but meaningful gestures that weave together the tight-knit fabric of our community.

This scarf features a cascade of small bandit-red hearts along one side of white fabric. On the opposite side, Lead with Your Heart is woven in navy, connecting the design to our home state.
