Who makes the scrunchies?
Melonpan Scrunchies is a family-run business and all our scrunchies are made by Sarah and her mom. Learn more about us, what made us start making scrunchies, and how our scrunchies are made here.
How big are your scrunchies?
Our oversized scrunchies are about 6 inches (16-17cm) wide and our regular sized scrunchies are about 5 inches (13-14cm) For a more visual take, please have a look at our individual scrunchies and their corresponding photos. Please note each scrunchie measurement may be slightly different due to different fabric materials.
How to Care for your Scrunchies
We recommend hand washing all scrunchies to best preserve their colour and fabric quality.
Please do not machine wash your chirimen scrunchies. Handwash in cold water and flat dry.

When will you restock scrunchies?
Our fabrics for our scrunchies are handpicked in Kyoto, Japan. Restocking is only possible when Sarah returns to Japan to pick up more fabric.
Because of this, we can never guarantee that specific scrunchies will come back in stock as local stores may not carry that fabric anymore. We recommend you get your scrunchies as soon as new collections are announced and launched to avoid disappointment. Follow us on Instagram and Tiktok for the most up to date information on new scrunchies!
Please send us an email or DM us on our social media for a timeframe on specific scrunchies.
When is your next market?
Follow us on Instagram for all the latest news on our markets and where we'll be vending next!
Do you have a local pickup option?
Yes! Please contact us at melonpanscrunchies@gmail.com or direct message us on Instagram. We will give you a code to waive the shipping fee at checkout. We have pickup options available in North York, Markham, and Scarborough, Ontario.
