Abstract

A decorative fashion accessory includes an elastic band surrounded partially along the circumference by bunched fabric of relatively large dimension; and a ring of fabric of appreciably less dimension surrounds the remaining portion of the band. In this way, the accessory can encircle a length of hair with the ring in close proximity to the head of the wearer to secure the device in position. In one form of the present invention, an opening can be provided circumferentially along the bunched fabric of relatively large dimension with a closure thereto to provide a pocket for securing articles.

Claims

1. A decorative fashion accessory having an elastic band surrounded partially along its circumference by bunched fabric of relatively large width and a tubular length of fabric of appreciably less width surrounding the remaining portions of said band to enable the accessory to encircle a length of hair with said tubular length in close proximity to the head of the wearer, including an opening extending circumferentially along said bunched fabric of relatively large width, and a closure for said opening.

2. A decorative fashion accessory having an elastic band surrounded partially along its circumference by bunched fabric of relatively large width, an opening extending at least partially along said bunched fabric of relatively large width, means for selectively opening and closing said opening, and a tubular length of fabric of appreciably less width surrounding the remaining portions of said band to enable the accessory to encircle the wrist of the user to provide a decorative purse to be worn by the user.

3. A decorative fashion accessory including an elastic band surrounded by fabric, said fabric being formed into a first portion surrounding said band along a portion of the circumference of said band and a second portion surrounding the remaining circumferential portion of said band and having a width of a dimension noticeably less than that of said first portion, said first portion having an opening and a closure for said opening.
