Bear Essentials

Teddylux Cashmere Headbands

Thanks to your sneaking of Days of Our Lives during daycare naps, your thoughts surrounding the word “teddy” took on adult themes decades too soon.

Administer fitting doses of retail therapy via Teddylux Cashmere’s brand new headband line.

Like the wildly popular bear predecessors, each is cut, stitched, and adorned by hand at designer Brooke Serson Cernonok’s Castleberry Hill workshop. Cozy up to gray-, coal-, and gravel-colored swatches topped with patina’d citrine, turquoise, and rhinestones scored at costume and estate sales.

Her take on headbands is altogether grown-up (see the Alice in Wonderland and English Rose styles), but special details like faux pearls, starburst pins, and flowery brooches are unique to each piece, and Cernonok is happy to fill custom orders based on a client’s own finds.

Just keep your requests PG.

Available at Teddylux, 259 Peters Street SW, Atlanta  (404-312-4872); online at teddylux.com.
