This is a variety pack of 10 masks including behind the ears and behind the head elastic.

[NOTE: We choose which patterns you receive.]

Our masks utilize leftover African print 100% cotton fabrics that we use for our products made locally in Charlotte NC. Each mask is made with 2 layers of protection with an internal pocket for a filter. Elastic is used for the earpieces and a twist tie is sewn into the nose to be able to better fit the mask to your face. Masks have been washed and dried after being made and placed in packaging. It is recommended to wash them again before use. In your pack, you will get either a variety of fabrics or all the same fabric. Our fabrics are very colorful and we cannot grant requests for specific or more masculine fabrics and will do our best to give you a variety in your selection. Your mask pack also includes No2 Cone filters for use in the filter pocket.

A Note About Our Masks: The personal use of masks can help protect your t-zone by reminding you to not touch your face which offers some protection when in the public and indoors. These items also prevent some of the spread of droplets to other individuals around you. Personal use of cloth masks is important for everyone, especially for the at-risk population like the elderly or pregnant women as well as those who are immunocompromised. Individuals with respiratory or heart conditions may not be able to wear a mask. Please note that the cloth masks are not medical-grade PPE that is required in the hospital and emergency settings. While handcrafted masks are based on CDC & WHO guidelines, they do not stop the spread of disease entirely. Please refer to the CDC and HO for more information.
