i love it, claudia shchiffer was wearing it in the catalogue i got at home, and at the time it hought maybe they got creative and used a belt as a headbnad, i had no idea it actually is a headband, it is gorgeous!!!!
i heard the chain headband wasn't doing so well. I had ordered silver and black and my SA said she didn't think they would be arrinving at the store at all.
Saw it at the Chanel boutique at Tyson's a few weeks ago. Loved it but forgot to check the price (I was there to order a black patent jumbo classic and the headband escaped my mind by the time I was finished). I can't believe how expensive they are! I'd love one but at $975 I just can't justify it. I lose enough headbands as it is and just what would I do with that chain once the elastic in the satin stretches out or dies of dry rot?
i saw it at Chanel in Tysons VA too...its pricey and I tried it on...snagged my hair so I wasnt as pleased...plus Ive found the hairbands with no open end seem to be more difficult to put on...takes a few tries though it IS adorable in person and once i was able to put it on w/o making my hair go all bunched up and what not...it was nice but i felt it was squeezing my head too much...
the price is eek though...but if u love it Mon, go for it!!!

The price, obviously, is keeping me from getting one. I'm hoping to snatch one up when they inevitably go on sale.
I would love to know if anyone actually purchased one.

I adore that hairband.
It's not really a hairband in the normal sense, the plastic ones are regular bands, but this looks like a dressy chain for the hair. This is not your schoolgirl hairband! And it's so Chanel.
Yes, these are my exact thoughts. More sophisticated Chanel.

Agreed. I might splurge if it were leather and I can't see any excuse for charging $975 for a headband and not springing for the leather. At that price, lambskin and a sterling silver chain would be more appropriate! I can't imagine that leather would have been too heavy for this headband considering that it's already got a pretty solid metal chain. A few more grams from leather probably wouldn't contribute more than a couple of percent of the total weight. Aside from durability, I'm concerned about cleaning and potential staining of the satin. My mother was Japanese and my father is Irish and Scottish. I've got really thick (both in individual hair diameter and number of hairs on my head), dark Asian hair but I've got serious curls from my Dad. I love my hair and strangers stop me every day to compliment me but the only way to tame my mane and keep the curls as wsmooth, pretty curls rather than a huge, wild mane of frizz is to use a LOT of product in there, which means I tend to get a lot of oily product residue on headbands when I wear them. This isn't much of an issue with my leather headbands because I tend to use oilier lotion type leather cleaner/conditioners that keep the finish even. I shudder to think of how satin would look with all those curl creme and gel deposits!
Oh no, keep posting pictures The more I see it, the more I love it.
When was the last time we saw a headband worn on a mature woman? These are not young girls wearing it. Look at Diane Kruger. It looks fabulous for evening when you want to really dress up an outfit.
And for those who are saying it should be leather... leather would look quite sporty. This hairband is so elegant!
I really love those but won't buy. I can easily picture them slipping off my head

I'm sure I'm getting a big lot of the SS pieces though. Love those very much!!
