Your Summer Style Secret: Knot and Crown Bandies
You know those days when you want to look put together without spending an hour styling your hair? Same. The truth is, accessories can completely transform an outfit, and sometimes all it takes is the perfect headband to pull everything together. You can be wearing the simplest outfit, a basic tee and jeans, a casual sundress, or your favorite athleisure set and with the right headband, your whole look instantly feels more polished and intentional.
That’s why I’m such a fan of headbands. They’re the ultimate style shortcut. No complicated hairstyles, no endless mirror time, just pop on a cute, stylish headband and you’re ready to take on the day looking effortlessly chic.
I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered Knot and Crown and their gorgeous headbands, also known as Bandies. From everyday classics to statement-making styles, they truly have a Bandie for every occasion. I’ve been loving the ones I received and find myself reaching for them again and again. They’re comfortable, stylish, and make getting ready so much easier. Needless to say, I’m already eyeing a few more because one thing is certain, you can never have too many Bandies!
About Knot and Crown
Wear your crown proudly and be the Queen you are meant to be.
What makes Knot and Crown even more special is the story behind the brand. Founded by mother-daughter duo Rebecca and Amanda on Chicago’s North Shore, the pair have built a loyal following and earned the nickname “The Headband Ladies” from their devoted customers. Their passion for fashion and eye for timeless style shine through in every Bandie they create.
The inspiration for Knot and Crown came in an unexpected way. In 2024, while attending a holiday tea, Amanda was approached by a stranger who loved her headband so much that she offered her $100 to buy it right off her head! Taking that as a sign, Rebecca and Amanda turned the idea into a business, and Knot and Crown was born.
But these beautiful headbands are about more than just fashion. While Bandies effortlessly elevate an outfit and can rescue even the most stubborn bad hair day, the heart of the brand is rooted in confidence and empowerment. Rebecca and Amanda believe every woman deserves to hold her head high and wear her crown with pride. Through their thoughtfully designed Bandies, they hope to inspire women to embrace their beauty, confidence, and individuality every day.
My Thoughts on Knot and Crown Bandies!
I am absolutely in love with the Bandies I received from Knot and Crown! From the moment I opened my package, I could tell how much thought, care, and attention to detail goes into every single headband. The quality is incredible, the designs are beautiful, and they’re so comfortable to wear that I often forget I even have one on.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few Bandies from both the Upcycled Denim Collection and I honestly can’t pick a favorite.

What really impressed me about the Upcycled Denim Collection is the story behind it. Knot and Crown brought the collection to life when they realized they had a supply of old denim jeans that could be transformed into something beautiful instead of going to waste. They began washing, cutting, and sewing the denim into unique headbands, giving the fabric a second life while creating something stylish and meaningful. Since every pair of jeans has its own color, texture, and character, no two denim Bandies are exactly alike, which makes each one feel even more special.
Beyond creating gorgeous accessories, I love that Knot and Crown found a way to incorporate sustainability into their designs. Turning old denim into wearable pieces a creative way to reduce waste while producing something both practical and fashionable.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my Bandies. They’re the kind of accessory that instantly makes you feel more put together, even on days when you don’t have time to fuss with your hair. Whether I’m running errands, heading to brunch, or dressing up for an event, I find myself reaching for them again and again. They also make the perfect summer gift, whether you’re treating yourself or surprising a friend, sister, mom, or anyone who loves effortless style. A Knot and Crown Bandie is a thoughtful way to give the gift of confidence, comfort, and a little extra sparkle to someone’s day.
