Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents ask before the first wear.
What ages does The Prairie Princess fit?
The adjustable sliding-knot band fits your baby from newborn through toddler — one bow, every stage, no drawer full of outgrown headbands.
Why organic bamboo blend instead of polyester?
Synthetic fabrics shed thousands of microplastic fibers with every wear and wash. Those particles end up on your baby's skin, which is 30% thinner and far more absorbent than adult skin. Organic bamboo is soft, breathable, and naturally gentle on sensitive newborn skin.
How do I wash and care for the bow?
Machine wash cold on gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry. Reshape bow while damp. Do not bleach or iron directly on bow.
Is the bow pre-tied, or do I tie it myself?
Every bow arrives pre-tied and ready to wear — just adjust the band and you're set.
Who is The Ruthie?
When a Wyoming mom couldn't find anything gentle enough for her newborn daughter Ruthie, she made one. That's how The Prairie Princess started.
Is it safe for a newborn? What are the certifications?
Every bow has a smooth underside where it touches skin, with all seams turned and enclosed — no visible stitching anywhere. Crafted from organic bamboo blend, handcrafted in the USA. GOTS, CPSIA, ROHS, and REACH certified.
