NIMC Exclusive Buffalo Bones Scarf

Designed by Paul Hardy

The dominant colour of the #NotInMyCity 'Buffalo Bones' scarf is blue, which is recognized internationally as the universal colour for human trafficking prevention. Blue is a perfect complement to the signature yellow rose: a symbol of friendship and new beginnings, and the heart of the #NotInMyCity brand. In the scarf artwork, Paul Hardy included images of livestock bones, a nod to the prairie roots and western heritage of Alberta, and a harsh juxtaposition to the delicate bloom. The individuals who are held captive within the human trafficking trade are often considered a sort of "livestock" - a commodity that can be bought and sold. Paul Brandt penned a song called "Buffalo Bones", which honours those who have been impacted by human trafficking.

Wearing this scarf shows your steadfast support for those who are so harshly affected by this crime.
