Simbi®, a high-quality, handcrafted accessory and fashion collection recognized for its unique styles, as well as its philanthropic efforts to bring much-needed clean water to the people of Haiti, is excited to announce the launch of Simbi Scrunchis, the newest addition to its existing hair accessory line.

Sewn from hand-cut, up-cycled t-shirts, the scrunchis come in a variety of colors ranging from bright pinks and yellows to neutral tones. They are all tie-dyed by hand with an eco-friendly color.

With a unique inventory of hair ties and bracelets, the Simbi team wanted to bring a new dimension to their already fun and spunky accessory collections.

“We decided it would be fun for our accessories to take a trip back in time,” said Simbi’s sales team member, Michael Alvarez, “the scrunchi’s versatile nature combined with our handmade design and production process makes Simbi Scrunchis just as unique as the era that made them famous.”

Simbi Scrunchis retail for $5 each and are available online now at https://simbihaiti.com/collections/scrunchies.
