Abstract
Abstract An improved fashion accessory band formed of elastic material is provided, wherein opposing ends of an elongated band of elastic material are coupled together to form an annular-shaped accessory. The outer face is decorated and can include a label and one or more circumferential stripe-like decorations printed or constructed thereon, so that there is no need to cover the surface of the band with a layer of additional fabric or other covering material.
