A hand-finished headband from Nepal
Made from soft, lightweight 100% cotton, this headband has a gentle stretch that holds without pressing. The 'plain mixed colours' version focuses on quietly striped panels rather than bold prints, so the headband sits comfortably alongside both plain and patterned outfits. The fabric draws on the colours and woven patterns of traditional Nepalese sari cloth, so each piece is unique and full of character.
How you can wear it
The headband is generous enough to keep loose or wavy hair out of your face, gentle enough to wear with a pinned-up style, and small enough to slip into a pocket on a long walk. It works well for gardening, yoga, summer outings or a relaxed day at home. Many readers also use it as a neck scarf, a wrist tie or even fold it into a small pouch.

Care and washing
Wash on a gentle, cool cycle with similar colours. Avoid hot tumble drying, as the weave can stretch and the colours may soften. Iron on the reverse at a medium temperature. When you store the headband, fold it loosely in a dry drawer. With this kind of care, the colour and stretch last for many seasons.
Origin and craft
Each headband is sewn by hand in Nepal, where small workshops produce these light cotton accessories using long-standing local techniques. Small variations in stripe placement and colour are part of the hand-made character, not a fault.
