The headband is handmade out of velvet, it's so shinny, stunning and so soft! Insanely, comfortable! The color of the headband is black. The gold and rhinestone Chanel button is approx. the size of a quarter, the headband measures 1 inch wide. The Chanel button is authentic. We do everything that we can to try to guarantee authenticity. We always believe in quality over quantity. I take material from luxury items and use them to create wearable pieces.
