The Most Expensive Hairband in the World…Ever?

I have to smile whilst reading the fashion feature in the March issue of Elle magazine. In one picture the model is wearing a yellow plastic hairband and the list of items beside it says: Perspex Hairband, House of Flora, Price on request. Price on request? For a hairband? That’s made of Perspex (is that not just a type of plastic?)? I mean, how much can it be? Usually when it says ‘price on request’ it means ‘if you have to ask, you can’t afford it’. But really, for a hairband?! Perhaps House of Flora are so ashamed they are selling an item for less than £10 (because really, it can’t be more than that, surely?) that they didn’t want to publish the price. Who knows? I tried, unsuccessfully, to find somewhere to request the price online (and a picture, really, it’s only a plastic hairband!) so now we will never know!
