Hair Ties

Hair ties are the thing every school bag, coat pocket and bedside table seems to run out of. Ours are the pretty kind: bunny ear hair ties in Liberty print cotton, and knotted hair bobbles in sets of five, all from Josie Joan's, a small Melbourne brand.

Bunny ear hair ties

Each pair has a little knotted bunny-ear bow, most of them in cotton designed by Liberty London and Rifle Paper Co. They're lovely on the end of a plait or a high ponytail, and every pair is a little different because the pattern placement varies.

Knotted hair ties and bobbles

The knotted hair tie sets come five to a pack, each with a gold detail on the ends, in bright, neutral, pastel and green shades. They're gentle on hair, and the neutral set disappears nicely into a school ponytail.

A pair of bunny ties or a set of five slips easily into a stocking or a birthday card. Not sold on Amazon.
