Every single tie dye item is different! You can tell by the massive pile of headbands, and the rubber bands for patterns
Fusing Japanese Design with Western Headwear
We call it America-Mura or to translate it: American town (us locals call it Amemura). It's the fashion district in Osaka, Japan, where western products first got imported into Japan on a commercial scale about 60 years ago. It became a fashion and cultural epi-center in Japan with all the trendy people packing it out every evening.
There were western products and Japanese products, but nothing inbetween. The differences were extreme and it took about 30 years before the designs began to mix.
I started working in a hat shop in Amemura about 20 years ago. My design of hats was part of the new cultural mix between east and western design. But only selling in Amemura meant that the blend of designs was only going to get so far, probably not even out of Osaka. So but about 13 years ago I realized the only way to really spread the design was to go online.
I've been selling online in Japan for about 12 years and now want to see what non-Japanese think of the designs and products...So, here I am Etsy!
I think most headbands are either highly decorative or limited to just sports use, I'm aiming for something more casual and trendy, but is also practical and can be used for outdoor activities.
We are now a team of 4 that I design everything with. We get help from small separate companies who make some of our products with sewing machines. It's all hand made and made from our designs that we've been working on since I started the "charm" brand.
As a brand we focus on making items that are easy to wear, create a fashionable appearance and are also effortless to put away in your bag.
Thanks for reading about us, we hope to hear from you soon!

Shop policies
I've been watching the change in fashion in Japan since working in a hat shop about 20 years ago. I then started designing and selling my own items. About 8 years ago I decided I wanted to reach a wider audience.
Our designs are a reflection of the way fashion in Japan has evolved since western culture began to influence fashion in Osaka in the 1960's.
