I'm hoping Reddit can work its magic on this one. Desperate dad trying to make his 9 year old daughter happy after losing something very cheap but very precious to her.
My daughter bought this headband with her own money (very important when you're 9!) while on holiday in Spain. Specifically she bought it in the Chinese Center Euro House in Catral - essentially a discount/pound shop type place, so I presume regularly changing stock (yes I've contacted them - no longer sold).
She lost it this summer while we were camping in the Yorkshire Dales. She is beyond gutted as it was very much her look and style, and her ADHD regret is kicking her butt bigstyle.
It is an elasticated headband, essentially like a big scrunchie. I've reverse image searched it and thrown it at AI, and have had a few leads but no actual result. I have regular searches running on places like AliExpress, Shein etc.
The closest I've got is a metal headband with the same fabric covering, but clearly not the same elasticated construction. But it was for sale in the UAE and another option (but out of stock) in India. https://www.nykaafashion.com/mi-arcus-gingham-floral-knot-hairband-with-embroidered-detailing-navy-blue/p/21083891
Manufacturer here is named as Mi Arcus, but previous searching suggests it may be more generic and just badged Mi Arcus.
The UAE one was in stock till a couple of weeks back, and I was trying to find a shipping forwarder to get it to the UK, but they ran out of stock before I could get them ordered. My plan being to buy 6. Give her a pair as the metal headbands, then the other 4 I'd pass to a local sewing place to see if they could use the fabric to make two elasticated ones like the original.
It looks like those avenues have now closed.
Help me Reddit!!
