Handmade in Uganda

Cotton and elastic headbands with a twist in the front.

Our hair accessories are made with hand block-printed cotton, a technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. The beautiful patterns on the fabrics are created using wooden blocks. These blocks are hand-carved using basic tools & manual drawings. Once the blocks are ready they are dipped in natural dyes & the color patterns are transferred onto organic cotton. Each design involved multiple blocks & dyes which have to be carefully aligned to create a beautiful and colorful final product.

*Please note color preference at checkout or email us at mangoandmain@gmail.com for a photo of current choices.
