Felissimo’s Summer 2021 Hair Turbans Are Made Using Traditional Japanese Banshu-Ori Weaving

19.May.2021 | FASHION

As part of Felissimo’s “Japanese Craftsman Project,” the fashion retailer released a new collection of jacquard hair turbans in collaboration with POLS, a textile brand based in Nishiwaki, Hyogo.

Green x Brown – Pink x Brown – Light Grey x Orange – Sky Blue x Yellow | ¥4,800 Each (Before Tax)

The hair turbans are made using a traditional Japanese weaving technique called banshu-ori whereby threads are dyed before they are woven, allowing for items to maintain their colour for much longer.

 

POLS is a textile company that uses a jacquard loom to create designs brimming with originality. The hair turban collection features colours that aren’t over the top so can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. They are also a great item for doing your hair and makeup while working remotely and add a little something to your look if you’re in a situation when you need to wear a mask.
