Most cooling products are made of PVC and a gel that smells faintly of plastic. The fridge was an afterthought; the freezer is an inconvenience; the thing itself is something you hide in a drawer.
This is one attempt at a different version. A headband that takes its cool from the fridge, holds it quietly against the skin, and is made to be kept. From wool, cotton, and plants.
The cooling core is derived from plants and sits around the temperature of cold water from the tap. The shell is wool and organic cotton.
It is designed for the quiet hours. The heat of a hot flush, the dim room of a migraine, the last stretch of a long afternoon in a warm country. It isn't medical. It doesn't announce itself. It sits on a bedside table and waits to be useful.
We're making a small first run.
If this reads like something you'd wear, we'd love to hear from you.
