Tukula Baby Headband
Our Tukula print is a playful interpretation of kuba cloth - a textile traditionally handwoven by the Kuba people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kuba cloth is woven using the strands from raffia palm leaves that are then dyed using natural dyes. This fabric originated in the 17th century and is characterized by bold patterns that suggest movement. Of the 17 ways that a design can be repetitively varied on a surface, the Kuba people have exploited twelve in their cloths! Amazing. Historically, the Kuba people have used these cloths as wrappers, skirts, sleeping mats and even currency. We've named this print "Tukula,” the Bakuba word for the red pigment obtained from the heartwood of indigenous trees and traditionally applied to art and cloth created by the Kuba people.
A pretty accessory to add some vibrant color to any outfit, our organic cotton headband stays on without being tight. It’s comfortable, soft and safe for baby’s skin. Pairs perfectly with our other styles including the ruffle dress, bodysuit and sleeveless romper.
Super soft and lightweight 100% organic cotton
One size fits newborn to 6 months
Machine washable for easy care
