Description

Beautiful and unique gift idea! Silver feather art printed on an upcycled, hand-dyed leather barrette and earring set. Rich copper brings out the amazing natural feather detail over smooth black leather. Whether you are shopping for yourself or for a friend, this piece is both lovely and practical, a unique alternative to jewelry that will also allow for simple every-day hair styling with all types of long or thick hair, and will coordinate well with a dark, rustic or earthy wardrobe.

The barrette is sturdy, designed for daily wear, yet also delicate and just dressy enough for almost any occasion. The earrings are amazingly lightweight and comfortable to wear.

What size barrette should I get?

Large is a standard “large” barrette

• The clip: 3″ (80mm)
• Leather upper design piece is 3.75″ x .75″ (100mm x 20mm)
• Perfect for ponytails, and half up-dos for thicker hair.

Extra Large is great for long, thick and curly hair

• The clip: 4″ (100mm).
• Leather upper design piece is 4.75″ x .75″ (120mm x 20mm)
• Hard-to-find size, perfect for thick or curly hair, or for twisted updos for longer hair.

Functional beauty, quality craftsmanship

Or should we say, crafts-woman-ship? All barrettes are handmade, originally created for their designers’ own long hair, with consideration not only for beauty, but also functionality, comfort and durability using eco-friendly materials and practices. The clips themselves are large, high quality, sturdy French-style metal barrette clips with tension bar. The leather is very securely attached to the clip with metal rivets that will be nearly impossible to remove.
