Transform millennia-old heritage into a wearable landscape for your hair. This headband is crafted using the traditional tie-dye technique of the Bai ethnic group in Dali, Yunnan. Artisans hand-stitch natural cotton before dipping it into vats of plant-based indigo. The deep, layered blue-and-white patterns, inspired by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, make each piece a unique, unrepeatable artwork born from nature and human hands. Featuring a comfortable, wide elastic band, it adds a finishing touch to a simple updo or becomes the focal point of a bohemian look.
The Craft Known anciently as “Jiaoxie,” every hand-tied stitch guides the final pattern. The interaction between plant dye and fabric gives the color its living, gentle gradients.
Care The plant-dyed color will develop a softer patina with wear. Avoid prolonged soaking, direct sunlight, or contact with chemicals. Clean with a slightly damp, soft cloth.
