Sit down a minute, dear. A headband is not jewellery, whatever they have told you. It is the thing standing between the sweat on your forehead and your ability to see a ball coming. This one is soft and light and it absorbs beautifully, and it holds without gripping your poor head all afternoon, which is the part most of them get wrong.
It is knitted from 92.7% polyamide with 6.7% elastodiene and 0.6% polyester, and it is unisex, so your cousin can borrow it and probably will.
That is genuinely all there is to say about it, and I am not going to pad it out to make you feel better about the purchase.
You will wear it everywhere from a court in real Yangon humidity to a stuffy indoor hall back home in February, and by the way, it is also perfect for a morning at the Bogyoke Aung San Market, where the jade and lacquer sit under a covered colonnade and the bargaining takes longer than anybody admits.
And do go to Shwedagon, dear, properly, not for ten minutes. Sixty tons of gold leaf on a stupa raised over a whole hill, and you walk it barefoot on marble that has been warmed all day, which is a thing you feel in your feet for hours afterwards.
Then out to Kandawgyi Lake in the evening, where the Karaweik sits on the water — a concrete royal barge shaped like two mythical birds, and it never sails anywhere, and it does not need to. Have you eaten? You cannot walk a hill on an empty stomach and I will not hear otherwise.
Get a bowl of mohinga first.
"Sixty tons of gold on that Yangon hill, dear, and you will still be thinking about the warm marble under your feet."
