Satin Rose Hair Tie in Six Shades

A rose you can actually wear to work. Each of these hair ties carries a full handmade satin rosette, petals rolled and folded from ribbon, mounted on a soft stretch elastic that holds a ponytail without pulling. Six shades cover the moods: blush pink, dusty mauve, pearl champagne, champagne gold, classic black and wine red, with a combo option if choosing is not your strength.

The rosette is generous enough to read as an accessory rather than a hair tie, the low-ponytail-and-flower look that keeps circulating every festive season. Because the flower is satin, it photographs with soft light instead of plastic shine, and it survives being stuffed in a handbag between wears.

Off duty for the hair, it doubles as a wrist piece; the elastic sits like a corsage band, which is not a bad trick at a wedding brunch. The grip is gentle on all hair types, no metal crimp, no snag, no dent left behind.

Care is a quick reshape of the petals with your fingers and a spot in the drawer away from crush. At daily-wear, office and college prices, this is the rare accessory that upgrades an ordinary ponytail in four seconds flat.
