Refined Tradition – Lustrous Purple Scrunchie in Vintage 90s Kimono Fabric
This handcrafted scrunchie is made in London using vintage kimono fabric from the 1990s, featuring a beautiful lustrous purple tone. The fabric comes from a kimono worn by a girl celebrating her seventh birthday—a traditional ceremony marking a girl’s growth into a young woman. This ritual, dating back to the Heian period (794–1185), is a time to give thanks to the gods for the child’s growth and to pray for her continued health and well-being. Soft yet structured, this elegant accessory brings a quiet richness and cultural depth to everyday styling.
Please note: due to its original use as a kimono, this scrunchie has minor stains. These imperfections are subtle and can be easily hidden when worn.
