Wildpetal is a five-petal bloom in a maroon plaid, now cut from 100% mulberry satin silk — silk charmeuse, a natural fibre spun by silkworms, not polyester. Each petal is stuffed, shaped and hand-set onto a soft-core elastic, then edged with cotton lace.

  • One size, and it fits most — one loop or two, depending on your hair
  • The softest, lightest cloth in our forest. Silk slides where cotton and polyester drag, so fewer strands snap on the way out
  • The padded petals and the soft-core, high-recovery elastic do the holding. The lace frill is decoration, and knows it
  • Sits flat on the wrist when your hair is down — no bite, no dent
  • Thick, fine, curly, coily or short hair — two loops or one
  • Made in small batches, so petals may sit a little differently from piece to piece

The promise in full, terms and all →

Free shipping across India on orders over ₹499. Once it leaves us: about 2 working days to the big metros, 4 working days to most other cities, and 6 working days everywhere else in India.

Outside India, 4–5 working days, tracked. Delivery is free over $50 in the US, £45 in the UK, €50 in Europe and US$50 elsewhere; below that it's $20, £16, €18 or US$20. If your country charges import duty, it's collected on delivery, not by us.

Each piece travels in a paper Moosi pouch. Keep it, gift it, regift it; the pouch doesn't mind.

Silk likes to be treated like hair, because it nearly is.

  • Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap — no soaking, no wringing
  • Press the water out in a towel; reshape the petals while damp
  • Dry flat, in the shade — sun fades silk
  • No bleach, no tumble dryer, no aggressive moods
  • If a petal gets sleepy, a little steam wakes it up

A small honest note — because each scrunchie touches your hair and skin, we can't accept returns or exchanges, worn or unworn. Hair things are personal, and re-circulating them isn't fair to the next Creature.

Please pick mindfully — we keep the photos and sizing as honest as we can. If your piece arrives damaged in transit, write to us at moosi.care@gmail.com within 48 hours, with a short video of the damage (preferred) or a few clear photos, and we'll send a fresh one.

The fibre

Mulberry satin silk. From a silkworm, not a refinery.

Satin is a weave, not a material. Most satin scrunchies are polyester — a plastic that warms against your skin and drags on the strand. Ours is 100% mulberry satin silk, the weave called charmeuse: spun by silkworms, glossy on one face, matte on the other, and the lightest, softest cloth we have found for a scrunchie.

Silk is a protein fibre, like your hair. It slides instead of gripping, so fewer strands snap when you take it out and there's less frizz by evening. Sleep in it, if you like.

~ the lace frill is decoration. the petals and the elastic do the holding.

Lab report · Sep 2026
Skin-friendly. Here's the lab report behind it.

Regional Laboratory, Textiles Committee — Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India, Kolkata. Tested 11–21 September 2026.

  • Banned azo dyesNone found. All 24 banned amines the lab checks for came back under the 30 mg/kg limit.Not detected
  • FormaldehydeNone the test could detect.Not detectable
  • pHClose to neutral; 7 is neutral.7.31
  • Colour and sweatNo fading, and no colour running onto silk or cotton, in acidic or alkaline sweat.5 of 5
  • Colour and rubbingRubbed against white cotton: nothing dry, at most a faint trace wet.5 dry · 4–5 wet

What it adds up to: nothing harmful found, a near-neutral pH, and colour that stays in the silk. That's why we call it skin-friendly.

Grades run from 1 to 5, and 5 is the best a fabric can score. The lab tested a sample of the silk fabric we sent in, so the results speak for that sample. Reports TC/ST/CEO/282/2026-27 and TC/LC/ST/1008/2026-27, both dated 21 September 2026. Read both reports, and what each result means.

How it's made

Nobody passes it along.

30–40minutes, one pair of hands

There is no line. One trained artisan picks up the silk and puts down the finished Wildpetal, 30 to 40 minutes later. Which is why no two turn out quite the same — and why we make them in small batches, on purpose.

01

The silk

The finest mulberry satin silk we can find — charmeuse. New cloth, chosen for this.

02

The dye

Natural dyes where the shade allows. For this maroon plaid: internationally standardised dyes, skin-friendly and lab-tested by the Textiles Committee, Govt. of India.

03

The cut

One artisan cuts the plaid to the design — five petals, one band. Nothing extra.

04

The hands

Petals stuffed, shaped and gathered onto the elastic; lace set by hand. The same hands, start to finish.

05

The pouch

Steamed, checked, folded into a paper pouch. Then it travels to you, gently.

Every hair type welcome

Made for your hair. All of them.

No. 01

Thick & heavy

Two loops and it holds. The padded petals take the weight, so the elastic never has to bite.

No. 02

Fine & slippery

Silk is gentle on baby hairs. Loop it twice — the plump petals lock against each other, so the fabric can be kind without letting go.

No. 03

Curly & coily

Slides out without taking souvenirs. Curls keep their pattern, and their opinion.

No. 04

Short & almost-bun

Half-up, baby ponytail, or a wrist day. All of these count.

No rules in the forest

Hair today. Wrist tomorrow. It doesn't mind.

The elastic sits flat on the wrist, so when your hair comes down the Wildpetal moves to your hand and waits there — no dent, no bite. Bag handle, journal, ankle: all fair.

The making circle

Made by rural women artisans. Creatures, like you.

Every Wildpetal is one person's half hour. The circle sets its own hours, and each of them makes a piece from first cut to last stitch — no production line, no piece handed along. When you take one home, you're carrying a little piece of someone's morning.

The making circle —Rural women artisans · stitching together since 2024
Made to measure

Custom orders, for a closer fit.

Wrists differ. Buns differ. If the standard Wildpetal isn't quite your size, tell us your measurements and the circle will cut and stitch one for exactly you.

01

Your size, not a size

A wrist in centimetres, or your bun described in your own words. Both work.

02

Nothing wasted

We cut silk for one, not for a shelf. Nothing extra made, nothing thrown away — a little closer to zero.

03

Same silk, same tests

Custom pieces are cut from the same tested mulberry satin silk, by the same hands.

~ a custom Wildpetal takes two to three slow weeks. It's worth it.

Asked in the forest

The things people actually ask.

Short answers, true ones. If yours isn't here, write to us.

Is it really silk?

Yes — 100% mulberry satin silk, the weave called charmeuse. Satin is a weave, not a material, and most satin scrunchies are polyester. Ours is spun by silkworms. The lace trim is cotton.

Is silk actually better for my hair?

Silk is a protein fibre, like hair, so it slides instead of gripping. Fewer strands snap when you take it out, and there's less frizz by evening. You can sleep in it.

Is it skin-friendly? Has the silk been lab-tested?

Yes, it's skin-friendly, and lab-tested to show it. The silk fabric was tested in September 2026 by the Regional Laboratory of the Textiles Committee in Kolkata, part of the Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India. No banned azo dyes were found, formaldehyde was not detectable, the pH was 7.31 (close to neutral), and the colour held against sweat (5 of 5) and rubbing (5 dry, 4–5 wet). It's a lab test of the fabric, not a test on skin. You can read both reports, and what each result means, on our Lab reports page.

Will it hold thick hair? What about fine?

It's one size: about 12 cm laid flat, stretching to 18 cm. One loop for thick hair, two for fine. The padded petals and the soft-core elastic do the holding — the lace is only there to look pretty.

What happens when the elastic gets tired?

We replace it, free, for as long as the piece exists. Write to us first, post your Wildpetal to us (you cover the way there), and we fit a new elastic and post it home — return shipping on us. About a week, door to door.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap — no soaking, no wringing. Press the water out in a towel, reshape the petals while damp, and dry flat in the shade; sun fades silk.

Who makes it?

One trained artisan picks up the silk and puts down the finished Wildpetal, 30 to 40 minutes later. Nobody passes it along.

Will mine look exactly like the photos?

Very close, not identical. Each one is made by hand, so no two petals sit quite the same way — that's the part a machine can't copy. We keep the photos as honest as we can.

How long will it take to reach me?

Once it leaves us: about 2 working days to the big metros, 4 to most other cities, 6 everywhere else in India, and 4–5 working days outside India. You can check your own pincode on this page.

Shipping is free across India on orders over ₹499, and it travels in a paper Moosi pouch.

Do you ship outside India?

Yes. We ship to 28 countries, including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, the UAE, Singapore, Japan and much of Europe. Delivery is tracked and takes 4–5 working days.

It's free on orders over $50 in the US, £45 in the UK, €50 in Europe and US$50 everywhere else; below that, it's $20, £16, €18 or US$20. Prices show in your currency, and checkout charges the same amount in Indian rupees (your bank converts it). If your country charges import duty, it's collected on delivery, not by us.

Can I return or exchange it?

No, and here's the honest reason: it's something that lives in your hair, and passing it on to the next Creature isn't fair to her. So please pick mindfully.

If yours arrives damaged, write to us at moosi.care@gmail.com within 48 hours of delivery, with a short video of the damage (preferred) or a few clear photos, and we'll send a fresh one.

Are the reviews on this page real?

Yes. Every review here comes from someone who bought this piece, and we copy them word for word. To write one on this site you sign in with the email you ordered with, and we read each one before it goes up. We don't hide the lukewarm ones.
