Divine Feminine Hair Tie

Match your favourite swimwear set with a Hair Tie to finish off your ocean activity look.

Every time we make one of our clothing products we use a roll of fabric and there are always left over scraps behind. This left over material which is known as ‘pre-consumer’ waste unfortunately is a big contributing environmental factor in the fashion industry. But welcome Francesca Page Collection hair accessories!! Our headbands and hair scrunches are made from leftover materials from our products, so it’s a great eco-conscious choice and allows us to reduce our pre-consumer waste.

Each piece of Francesca Page’s artwork holds a deeper spiritual meaning founded out at sea and amongst her travels. They allow you to carry that very magic she finds and creates around with you on your own adventures, creating new memories and experiences for yourself, allowing you to let her artwork live on and take a new form.

Here at Francesca Page Collections our motto is ‘Shop with intention, buy durable and wear longer’

+ 94% polyester, 6% spandex - made from leftover materials
+ Stretchy fabric
+ One size fits all

+ Original Artwork by Francesca Page

+ Sustainable - This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, waste and allows us to create as little of an impact on the environment as possible. So thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!

About the 200 Sharks project

Every 60 seconds around 200 sharks are lost from the ocean due to human activities. The mission for my 200 Sharks Project is to dive with, photograph and paint 200 different species of sharks. And then, through the power of art and storytelling, to bring you face-to-face with the ocean’s most iconic and misunderstood fish, the shark. Through my artwork I aim to provide a spotlight for these living dinosaurs, showcasing their intelligence, habits, adaptations, diversity, beauty, and personalities. With this project I am creating a body of work that takes my own personal diving encounters and uses this as a basis to fuel artwork that breaks down the negative stigma on sharks – turning fear into love. I believe education and connection is the key to unlocking the empathy door within our minds. Art holds the power to create feeling, passion and ultimately change. Our world is a better place with sharks in it, and as an artist I feel it is my duty to be a voice for these silent creatures.

Divine Feminine – Story behind the artwork

Divine Feminine was inspired by my time spent diving in the Cocos Island in Costa Rica where I was surrounded by a school of female scalloped hammerheads. 

At first the visibility was poor but as we slowly drifted around the craggy walls to shelter from the surge, the water started to clear and we settled down. I wedged my fins into some rocks to keep myself stable and the wait for hammerheads began. Scalloped Hammerheads are a very shy species, easily spooked compared to other sharks. I calmed my breathing and bubbles to hopefully attracted the sharks to come closer. Five or so minutes passed and out of the murky cobalt waters the mysterious and elegant hammerheads appeared, swimming in a distinct formation - a scene I had only experienced in documentaries and photos. I hovered speechless, eyes wide open in awe at the magical event happening in front of me, a school of 50 Hammerheads, all covered in mating scars, and all ready for a well deserved clean. Before I could blink, 3 cruised over my head and suddenly I was surrounded. 

I have illustrated a scene of pure magic and female energy, which asks the viewer to imagine being one of the sharks in this Hammerhead orchestra. I have named this painting ‘Divine Feminine’ to celebrate female sharks in all their size and wonder. They have evolved to be bigger and better than the male sharks. And their ability to school on mass for pleasure and not for safety to me shows an intelligence we have only just begun to explore.
