A crown is a symbol of respect, honour, and royalty. For Sikhs, amongst others, their turban is their crown. Because it’s personal an individual and to who were are, we decided to adorn ours, and incorporate flowers in our crowns.

Both men and women are primarily seen sporting primarily solid colours turbans. However, like any piece of cloth or material, the opportunity to be creative and innovative is more than welcome.

The team at Turban and Beard created these floral turbans to make a statement and change the ordinary. Their aim? To push the boundaries and provide individuals with a patterned, floral turban to express their artistic and colourful side.
