Linen Elastic Headband

A linen headband in one size, in five colours. Keeps hair off your face on a windy walk or a hot afternoon, without the plastic-teeth grip of a synthetic one. Small enough to keep in a bag for whenever the wind picks up, and simple enough to wear with anything.

The fabric

Linen. No weight or finish specified beyond that - a simple, breathable band rather than a padded or structured one. Linen doesn't trap heat against your scalp the way a synthetic band can on a hot day, which is most of the reason to reach for this over an ordinary one.

The fit

One size, elastic. No adjustment beyond how snug you pull it on, so it fits a range of head sizes without a clip or a tie to fuss with, and it sits flat rather than pinching at the temples.

How to wear it

Everyday and casual - a walk on the beach, a workout, or just keeping hair back on a hot day. Five colourways mean there's a neutral like Natural Linen and a few brighter options like Blush Pink or Sage Olive to pick from, depending on what else you're wearing.

Care

Machine wash cold, hang to dry in the shade. A piece this small dries quickly, so it's rarely the thing holding up the rest of the wash.
