Bandalo:re

Coming out of from Vietnam, this is fresh yoyo release of the brand Bandalore, bringing a mix of classic yoyo design and adding modern yoyo performance.

Official description:

Before we explain why we chose the name Bandalore for this product, allow us to take you back to a time before "Yo-Yo" became the official name it is known by today.

As some of you may not know, between the 17th and the 19th centuries, the term "BANDALORE" was referred to a toy made of wood, a spool or wheel attached to a string. It was an early version of the yo-yo, serving as a precursor to the modern design we recognize today. The user would wind and unwind the strings to perform various tricks, or just wimply throw and retrieve the toy. It gained popularity in Europe as a French term for a type of spinning toy before spreading to the United States, where it played a key role in th evolution of the modern yo-yo.

We were deeply inspired by this fusion of history, merging the classic and old-fashioned yo-yo style with our personal favorite modern yo-yo, the "DK" by SF Yoyos, which sparked us the inspiration for this design. And so, with this combination Bandalore was born. A perfect harmony that bridges the evolution between eras, honoring the past while embracing the future, ope to igniting a new wave of creativity and inspiration.

Also, just so you know, the ":re" in the name symbolizes "remake, redo, and refresh." These are the ideas we wanted to capture both when the yo-yo first appeared and when it's in your hand.

That's all for today. Thank you for taking your time to read!
