the.com/bandeau

A strapless band of faith between you and gravity.

means A narrow strapless band worn as a bra or head covering, held up by tension and hope alone.

from From French "bandeau," meaning headband or strip of cloth, itself a diminutive of "bande" (band, strip) — the same root that gives English "band" and "bandage." That root traces back to Germanic and Old French words for a flat strip of material used to bind or tie. The word entered English in the 1700s-1800s describing a narrow headband, and later, in the 20th century, slid down to describe strapless tops and bras — same principle, different gravity to defy.
