Back to School: three little words that stir anxiety in the young and the young-at-heart. Nobody wants summer to end, but while you can’t stop time, you can keep your summer vibe alive by adding Pomchies accessories to your back-to-school shopping list. Established in 2002, Pomchies is a line of fun fashion, home and lifestyle accessories with amazingly practical uses.

The company name Pomchie was originally coined to describe a soft ‘ouchless’ ponytail holder — part scrunchie, part pom pom — which was its debut product. Pomchies accessories were born from a quest for sustainability, back when Pomchies owner Heather Logan was selling children’s sun protective swimwear and the Australia-based factory was in search of a way to use the scraps of left-over fabric. While Pomchies now buys its fabric by the container load, the adventurous spirit that launched this fun, carefree accessory line still informs its creative aesthetic. All Pomchie products are soft and waterproof, made from washable Oeko Tex approved swimwear fabric.
I recently received a surprise box of assorted Pomchies items to try, some of which – such as ubiquitous fashion hair accessory known as the scrunchie – I’ve already been using for years, and others that I never knew I needed until they landed on my doorstep. Let’s take a look!
I have very long hair that loves to fly around in the breeze, so to keep it out of my face, I tie it back with a scrunchie practically on a daily basis. The Pomchies Hair Scrunch comes as a single piece, or a coordinated 3-pack, and there literally hundreds of color combinations, so you can own one to match every outfit.
Look, I Did a Little Scrunchie Fashion Shoot!
Headbands are another hair accessory that’s made a big comeback owing to the fitness craze, but I like to use one to hold back my hair when I wash my face or put on make-up. They are indispensable!
These days, nearly everyone can be seen toting a water bottle for on-the-go hydration. An alternative to tossing your bottle into your bag or backpack (where it can get lost) would be to carry it in this Pomchie Water Bottle Holder. The style above has a shorter strap for hanging across your arm or shoulder, while the cross-body style, seen below, allows for more freedom of movement.

For years while travelling, I’ve identified my easily-overlooked black suitcase on the baggage-claim carousel by the hot pink bath puff tied to the handle. Now, I can toss that away and swap it out for these colorful Pom-ID Bag Tags! Everybody who owns non-descript luggage needs these!
