The “Raja” Turban is inspired by a blend of the traditional turban style of the Pubjab-India region. Raja means “king” in Hindi and Punjabi, and the color red represents love, strength and bravery in India. This style consists of a net fabric with hand set crystals and embroidery, and alludes to the traditional craftsmanship of Indian textiles. The embroidered netting is set over a brilliant maroon satin lining which not only adds to the boldness but also the comfort of this style. The fabric at the top of the turban may be fanned and molded for a unique look upon each wear. The double brooch worn with this turban is made in India and is a modern ode to ancient royal style from this region.
The “Rani” Turban, Brooch and Veil Cape blends traditional Indian textiles with modern bridal fashion. In Hindi, rani means “queen”. This three-piece set is made of a turban, a brooch, and a veil which transforms into a cape. This peachy pink look is inspired by the color tones traditionally worn to a nikkah (Islamic wedding ceremony). This embroidered net sits elegantly over ivory taffeta for the turban, and over a shimmering pink tulle for the veil. The veil is accented with thousands of handset ostrich feathers throughout. The turban is accented with a brooch that has kundan detailing and a lively plume of pink ostrich feathers. The brooch may be worn in countless ways, with traditional and non-traditional dressing alike.
The “Dulhan” Turban is inspired by one of Sonya’s favorite childhood Bollywood movies, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), and the dress in which Anjali is dressed to be wed. The Dulhan, or “bride” in Hindi, has a metallic beaded border that frames the face strikingly and a heavily embroidered net body with gold thread work, and magenta, coral, and silver flowers throughout. This turban is constructed to have structure and to sit high at the top of the head. The back veil of the turban may be tied back to create a second unique look that makes this occasion wear design rather versatile.
The “Amira” Hijab Turban is inspired by the traditional head coverings of the Middle Eastern culture. This style is named Amira, or “princess” in Arabic, for its intricate, cut-work border that incorporates crystals, pearls and beads. The cap of this style is lined with silk while the veil aspect falls and moves freely. The asymmetric veil can be draped over the shoulders on one or both sides, and can also be worn as a dupatta by draping one side across the body and over the shoulder.
The “Sade” Gele Turban is inspired by the traditional African wedding headdress. The Sade, which means “crowned” in Nigerian, is made of a gold band and a white crown, with two unique but complimentary patterns. It is created by meticulously hand pleating the band and the crown - which stands 7.5 inches tall - and individually stitching the molded pleats that result in a ready-to-wear gele. This unique two-tone gele is made further glamorous by the substantive diamond accent which adorns the band and makes this a true crown.
The “Atarah” Tichel Turban is inspired by the tradition of headscarves in the Jewish faith. The Atarah, meaning “crown” in Hebrew, has a stunning rose gold brocade look with an elegant diamond and rose gold band framing the face. One can wear their hair outside of the turban, or fully tucked inside for a modest look.
The “Duchess” Fascinator puts a fun and flirtatious twist on the traditional fascinator hats of the English royals that it is inspired by. This style can be worn by clipping the hat directly onto one’s hair, or by additionally using the attachable organza ribbons to tie the fascinator on. Designed in white with accents of gold strands, this fluffy style moves in the wind with you and creates an eye-catching presence wherever you go.
The “Regal” Turban and Capelet is inspired by the fashions of the 1930s and 1970s in America. This is a two-piece set can be worn together or individually. The warm gray net fabric is richly embroidered with 3-D flowers, pearls and beads. The net fabric of the turban is placed over a metallic silver satin which catches the light and gives this set a stunning and elegant look. The capelet carries the same embroidery which, combined with the sheer net, creates a stunning yet measured look with any ensemble.
The “Showstopper” Turban is inspired by Sonya’s favorite I Love Lucy episode, “Lucy Gets in Pictures” (1955). This turban is truly a headdress that will make you feel like the main character. This design has a baby pink jacquard fabric with a light glitter accent. The face is framed with a diamond and pearl border with drop beads that move as you do. The highlight of the turban is a detachable 7.5 inch tall applique with hand curled, baby pink ostrich feathers that gives this style it’s show stopping look. Finally, the back of the turban holds yet another surprise with a hand pleated rose that forms under the feathered applique.
The “Something Glam Something Blue” Turban is a 1920s-inspired style that was designed to give you an instant feeling of a vintage romance. This micro-pleated fabric has a slight satin finish, which exhibits a subtle shimmer when it catches the light. The ivory colored base is accented with a pale blue pattern. And the pièce de résistance is the custom made ostrich feather and jewel appliqué.
The “Sweetheart” Turban puts a StyleEsteem twist on its timeless namesake, the sweetheart bow. The choice of hot pink is inspired by many elements – the rise of Barbiecore, modern romance, and Indian fashion (hot pink is India’s black). The two oversized sweetheart bows were created in a medium and a large size so they can be stacked together for an especially dramatic look. The side with the bows may be worn on the front or on the back of the head. The bows are also easily removed to create an understated and elegant look with the ivory taffeta turban by itself.
The “Petal” Jeweled Turban has our signature sculptural design which is inspired by flower origami. Designed with an ivory taffeta fabric, the sculptured petal creates a unique presence that is made further dazzling with the vine motif diamond work across the front of the turban. This combination creates a very elevated and glamorous look, that proves there can be immense beauty in a single petal.
The ”Petal” Shimmer Turban is a vibrant take on StyleEsteem’s signature petal turban. This design incorporates a fully glittering fabric into the sculptural petal silhouette. The combination of the fabric and shape creates a fun and glamorous look, that constantly glimmers when it catches the light.
The “Ali’I” Turban Headband is inspired by the wildlife in Hawaii, where Sonya honeymooned. The Ali’i, or royalty in Hawaiian, has a blue net fabric with delicate bead and embroidery work in shades of blue and metallic blue. This accent is resonant of the natural beauty of the coral reef and beach flora that can be found on the islands. The embroidered net is set on top of a shining silver satin that further adds dimension and beauty to this design.
The ”Swanky Berry” Turban is inspired by the vogue fashions of the 1920s in America. In 1920s slang, “swanky” meant ritzy, and “berry” meant attractive. These words are embodied by the metallic cobalt blue, micro-pleated fabric you see here. This bold and vivid blue beautifully contrasts with the Japan-made silver lined tassel accent that adorns the turban. The fabric and the tassel come alive with your every move.
The “Manao” Turban Headband is inspired by modern romance and celebrations. The Manao, or “celebrate” in Hindi, comprises of a white net that is heavily embroidered with a vine and leaf motif. The net is set atop an ivory satin lining, giving this design an elevated and fancy look. This incredibly versatile design deserves to be worn over and over, on your special day and beyond.
