The Judith

Dr. Judith L. Vaitukaitis is a physician-scientist best known for helping develop the first sensitive radioimmunoassay to detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This breakthrough made it possible to accurately and early diagnose pregnancy, forming the foundation for modern pregnancy tests used worldwide.  Her work also improved the detection and monitoring of conditions like ectopic pregnancy and trophoblastic disease. Beyond her research, she went on to have a distinguished career in academic medicine and leadership at the National Institutes of Health. We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and confidence.  Lilac Market Headbands were born from the frustration of headbands that slipped, squeezed, or just didn’t last. So we thoughtfully designed one that actually works — and feels as good as it looks.  Each piece is handcrafted in Springfield, Missouri using our signature buttery-soft, ultra-stretch fabric that gently hugs without pulling. The double-layer construction absorbs sweat and stays in place, while the 3-in-1 twist design lets you switch up your look effortlessly. Wear it to your toughest workout, your longest shift, or your everyday moments — because real life deserves accessories that keep up.
