White Designer Accused Of ‘Cultural Appropriation’ After Marketing Silk ‘NiteCap’

On July 19, Fashion Magazine published an interview with entrepreneur Sarah Marantz Lindenberg, who markets and sells a product called the NiteCap.

When a dermatologist told Lindenberg that her long hair might be contributing to her breakouts, she began to search for a solution. After “clips kept falling out, [and] ponytails gave her a headache, and silk scarves, while effective, proved impossible to master,” Lindenberg designed the NiteCap, “a washable silk hair wrap that aims to protect both skin and hair,” according to the interview.
