OUR MATERIALS
Super-Soft Polyester
Our Super-Soft Polyester Fabric is designed for ultimate comfort and style. With its brushed finish, this fabric feels luxuriously soft against your skin while remaining lightweight and breathable—perfect for all-day wear!
We love using this fabric for our scrunchies because it features high-end, eye-catching designs that add a chic, polished touch to any outfit. Plus, polyester is known for its wrinkle resistance, fade resistance, and incredible durability, making it a long-lasting staple in your accessory collection.
Velvet
Velvet is the epitome of luxury and elegance—one of the softest, smoothest fabrics ever crafted. Its plush texture and short, delicate fluff give it a rich, sophisticated feel that adds a touch of glamour to any look.
We love using velvet because it’s not just beautiful—it’s cozy too! With its warm-retaining properties, this fabric is perfect for the autumn and winter months, keeping you stylish and comfortable all season long.
Satin
Satin is known for its luxurious, lustrous surface—one side gleaming with a soft, reflective shine, and the other with a matte finish. This elegant fabric is created through a specialized satin weaving technique, resulting in a variety of satin types, each offering its own unique characteristics.
We love satin because it feels incredibly soft and luxurious, adding a sophisticated touch to any accessory. It’s also less prone to wrinkling than many other fabrics, and thicker satins, like duchess satin, hold their shape beautifully.
Duchess satin is a heavier, more structured fabric with less shine than traditional satin, making it ideal for creating durable, strong pieces. The use of long filament fibers woven tightly together gives it strength and ensures it’s more resistant to wear and tear, while still maintaining a rich, refined finish.
DTY Brushed
DTY Brushed fabric is incredibly soft, stretchy, and designed for ultimate comfort. Made from drawn twisted yarn, this fabric is brushed on both sides, giving it a fuzzy, luxurious feel.
An affordable alternative to cotton, DTY Brushed fabric offers excellent insulation and durability. We love using it in our products because it brings an elegant and refined touch to any hairstyle, blending style and practicality seamlessly.
Rayon Voile
This 100% rayon voile is absolutely stunning. Rayon gives the fabric a soft, lustrous sheen, while the voile weave adds a touch of sheerness and lightness. It drapes beautifully, creating a flowy, delicate look.
We adore this material for its lightweight feel and silky-soft texture, making it a perfect choice for adding a touch of elegance and comfort to any look.
Bon Bon
Bon Bon is a smooth, high-quality synthetic fabric crafted from 100% polyester Spandex. This stretchy and lightweight material is perfect for creating vibrant, lasting styles. We love it for its bold colors, shape retention, and low-maintenance appeal—no ironing needed!
Scuba
Scuba is a double-knit fabric, typically made from a blend of polyester and Lycra or Spandex. With its smooth texture and fine gauge thread, this fabric is both springy and supportive. We love Scuba for its ability to maintain its shape, its extra smooth feel, and its quick-drying, thermal, and wrinkle-free properties. Perfect for effortless styling!
Georgette
Georgette is a lightweight, flowy fabric known for its breathability and signature puckered texture, created by tightly twisted yarns. While Georgette made from synthetic fibers may be less breathable than its silk counterpart, it still offers a soft, airy feel. We adore this fabric for our scrunchies because it’s light, comfortable, and adds a touch of elegance to any hairstyle.
Chiffon
Chiffon is a lightweight, breathable fabric celebrated for its sheer, floating, and shimmery qualities. Often likened to tissue paper, its delicate texture makes it a popular choice for evening wear, bridal attire, lingerie, and accessories. Chiffon has a transparent, almost ethereal appearance, and under magnification, it resembles a fine net or mesh. This fabric adds a touch of grace and elegance to any design, making it a perfect choice for creating soft, airy scrunchies.
Polyester
Polyester is a durable and affordable synthetic fabric that is known for its strength and resilience. Unlike cotton and other natural fibers, polyester is tear-resistant, stretch-resistant, and pill-resistant. Its ability to resist liquid means that it wicks away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable. Polyester is also wrinkle-resistant, helping it maintain its shape, drape, and structure with ease. This makes it a popular choice for low-maintenance items, as it requires less care than other fabrics. Thanks to its versatility and longevity, polyester remains a top choice for both everyday wear and accessories.
