Scunci or The way back home

Scunci (pronounced "skunsee") is a brand I came across during my time in Ireland as an intern at Bradley McGurk. One day whilst shopping, something struck my eye... a pack of multi-coloured hair-ties from Scunci!
Okay, you may not understand my excitement at spotting these hair-ties, but as a long-haired girl I'm always looking for inspiration. Then, browsing the internet, I found this great website dedicated to hairstyle products. Believe me, I felt like I was in seventh heaven! Scunci invented the comfy scrunchie, one of the defining accessories of the 80's (not that I'm THAT old, though!). They were also the first to develop hair-ties without the metal parts (to protect hair from breaking) and a unique hairgrip that won't slip off your hair. But where can I get Scunci products? In fact, they're only available in the U.S. (where Scunci originates), Australia and now also in the UK and ROI.
So I have to buy as many products as I can before I go back to Germany? Or make expensive online orders? What a pain! With this in mind I went home for Christmas. One day - I was shopping in town - I went into a jewellery shop and found myself totally flabbergasted. Why? They sold my new favourite fashion hair accessories! So I was able to create a pony wrap without any nasty pins... and look gorgeous on New Year's Eve... But still, why does Scunci remain such an insider's secret in Europe? Come on, you're the market leaders!
