These Organic UK-grown 100% peace silk oversized scrunchies are hand-dyed with organic natural dye flowers and extracts by Babs Behan of Botanical Inks in Devon.
Within each scrunchie is a natural plant rubber band that can biodegrade, along with the rest of the scrunchie, at the end of its lifecycle.
Botanical Inks oversized scrunchies are possibly the only scrunchies in the UK demonstrating re-localised soil-to-soil fashion cultivated through regenerative agroecological farming and gardening practices.
