Mum's the Word

Reese Juel Headbands

You still haven’t recovered from watching the Mummers. (Freezing your ass off while seeing Dad parade around in a feather headdress scarred you for life.)

But your style has evolved to where you can appreciate flashy headpieces. And fall head over heels for the work of Reese Juel.

The Northern Liberties-based accessories designer has created a line of dazzling headbands with sequined butterfly, flower, and cameo accents. (Think flapper meets Gossip Girl with a hint of drag.)

The best part: When you buy one, a portion of proceeds benefits women and children’s shelters and charitable organizations such as Not for Sale and Polaris Project (both fight human trafficking). So you can parade them around town with pride. 

And just enough razzle bedazzle.

Available at Bambi Gallery, 1001 North Second Street, suite 7 (267-319-1374 or bambiproject.com).
