How to Style It With Your Hair
Hair DownWear hair in a sleek, center-parted blowout so the swirled acetate pattern reads clearly across the crown — no fuss, just polished shine.
PonytailPull hair into a low, slicked ponytail at the nape so the headband sits cleanly on top and the trademark charm catches the light.
Half-UpTwist the front sections back and secure with a hidden pin, letting the Emma sit flat across the top while soft lengths fall over the shoulders.
BunSmooth hair into a low chignon with face-framing tendrils; the flat 1" band becomes the sleek modern crown of the silhouette.

Styling Tips
- The 1" flat silhouette is intentionally sleek — keep earrings small or sculptural so the headband stays the focal point.
- Store flat in the custom striped pouch to protect the hand-swirled acetate and keep the band's curve true.
- Waterproof and travel-friendly — a go-to for holiday hosting, winter getaways, and rainy-day polish.
- Pull the band down slightly toward the forehead for a fashion-editor finish, or sit it back at the crown for a softer daytime look.
- Pair with monochrome holiday dressing in cream, camel, or oxblood so the swirled acetate pattern becomes the standout.
