Whether you know them as headbands or alicebands, they continue to be a hot trend for 2021 and a must-have for all fashion and hair accessories retailers. As a trade supplier, we sell thousands of headbands across the world, and here are the top 5 best selling headbands at Inca UK…
- 7531 Knot Top Headband. £1.20 per unit, 4 units per pack.
Taking the top spot is the knot top headband. An easy way to create the look of wearing a hand tied head scarf without the awkwardness of having to tie one. We have a large range of patterned, printed and plain knotted headbands to suit any style or season. Typically our cotton fabric knotted headbands sell well in the spring and summer, and our knitted knot top head bands sell well in the autumn and winter as customers are on the lookout for hygge headwear. Our bestseller for Christmas is our sequin knotted top alice band which sells in high volumes for the party season, but overall the stand out performer throughout the year is our floral print pack of knot top headbands (7531). This option is the most popular choice as the stunning floral print has a subtle vintage feel and appeals to a large customer base.
2. 7902 Black Velvet Padded Headband. £0.95 unit price, 4 units per pack.
In second place is 7902, our classic black velvet padded headband, made popular after Kate Middleton was spotted wearing a similar headband to a number of royal engagements. The padded style of this elegant alice band adds a contemporary twist to this classic piece, and as black never goes out of fashion, it’s no wonder this headband is a best selling line.
3. 9227 2.5cm Satin Headband. £0.58 per unit, 8 units per pack.
Our pack of satin headbands (9227) is in third place after a surge in sales following the Prada runway show where satin headbands took centre stage. The soft covered ends of this headband sit comfortably behind the ears, and the simplicity of this style suits a large range of customers - from those looking for a classic style to those wanting to emulate the latest catwalk trends. This pack offers a winning combination of easy to wear colours (black, pink, silver and gold) and is available in the most popular size of 2.5cm wide.
4. 7900 Animal Print Bow Headband. £1.20 per unit, 4 units per pack.
Bows are only set to get bigger and better for 2021, after an abundance of bow hair accessories featured on the catwalks for this year (Chanel, Cynthia Rowley, Giambattista Valli). We have a range of different headbands with bows for adults and children, but the most popular choice is our pack of womens? animal print bow headbands (7904), as animal print has become a timeless trend that sells well all year round. The soft fabric bow makes a strong statement as it is attached to a thin satin covered black headband, and this headband can easily be worn as a casual or formal aliceband.
5. 6346 White Plastic Headband. £0.18 per unit, 12 units per pack.
It might not look like much, but our wholesale white plastic headband 6346 sells in bulk quantities to many crafters, hair accessory makers, milliners, and wedding suppliers as they are used as components to make handmade headbands. For brides and flower girls they are often used as cores which are then covered in satin ribbon and personalised to match the wedding style, as this is a cheap and affordable way of creating customised headbands for the bridal party.
