Why Ribbed Knit is the Perfect Fit
Looking for something a bit more textured? Ribbed knit is the answer. This fabric adds a touch of sophistication to your hair accessory game. It's like the little black dress of fabrics – timeless and always in style. So, why settle for ordinary when you can have extraordinary with ribbed knit? It's usually my go-to for fall in one of my solid colors- sage, copper or mustard.
Satin: The Epitome of Elegance
If you're all about luxury and glamour, satin is the fabric for you. It exudes elegance and sophistication, making you feel like a true queen. Whether you're attending a fancy event or just want to elevate your everyday look, satin hair accessories are the way to go.
