Bandeau

Feb 25, 2017 | by admin | Hat Resource | Articles

The bandeau is a narrow band of ribbon, velvet, or even celluloid, worn around the head. It can be completely plain, or elaborately decorated with sequins, feathers, glass beads or embroidery.

Bandeaux (or bandeaus) were popular with flappers in the 1920s and hippies in the 1960s.
