This upcycled leather hair barrette features an embossed spiral waves texture with in green and blue leather with a light silver surface finish. This hand-dyed and hand-painted finish has a unique colorful metallic appearance, but the clip is not heavy like metal, nor prone to tarnishing. Great for everyday use, and also perfect for dressing up your hair. It makes a great gift for anyone with long hair and a rustic vibe as a nice practical alternative to jewelry.
This striking barrette will hold all of your hair in place, all day long, and was especially designed for long and thick hair.

Functional beauty, quality craftsmanship
Or should I say, crafts-woman-ship? ;) I wear my own barrettes almost every day, and can also attest to their practical, functional use and durability. 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.
Please note that you will not be receiving the exact item seen in the photographs, but one that is extremely similar. My products are made by hand using natural materials, so there is some variation from piece to piece, but don't worry, all barrettes I ship are very similar to and, of course, just as beautiful as the ones you are looking at!
