1x Vintage Silk Kimono Panel Headband (as shown in photographs)
Beautiful vintage silk kimono panels have been upcycled to a headband. Each headband is one of a kind.
Headbands are a warm, soft and fantastic way to add a bit of colour and pop to any outfit. I've found that these headbands look great with hair of all lengths, tied up or not tied - they are very versatile and comfortable on.
The vintage silk headbands are "reversible" as depending on how you flip the band, you will a different pattern/ colour scheme. Some headbands are made with one continuous piece of fabric, but more often than not it is made of several smaller fabrics pieced together.
Both top and inner layers are sourced from vintage kimono silk pieces.
Bouquet Temari is a colourful floral low to mid sheen smooth fabric that was sourced from an entire kimono (so like the previous FLOWER CART series, there are more pieces of the Bouquet Temari collection available in headbands). It features floral temari motifs with chrysanthemums, peonies, and plum blossoms with gold accents. It is lined with a mid to high sheen smooth white/ pale pink upcycled kimono lining, from the same kimono the upper fabric was paired with.
This is an online exclusive design and will not be available at pop ups.
If you are interested in picking up, please message me to see if anything else is similar as I have a different lot for events. Unfortunately due to admin, I will not be opening these listings for in person pick up and these will be strictly online exclusives. Thank you.
Please be advised that none of the fabrics have been prewashed (with the exception of the kimono silk panel, which was cleaned in Kyoto) and the vintage kimono silk is estimated from the 1980s and is in very good condition. Minor imperfections are normal and not considered a flaw. Due to storage and transport, a warm iron may be needed depending on your preference (do not iron the elastic).
