Embossed leaf print in rich purple-red leather with a light silver and copper finish give this hair barrette a beautiful metallic yet natural look, without the heaviness of metal, bringing out the lovely texture of the leaf impression. Yes, a real leaf was pressed into the leather to provide this beautiful texture! Perfect for dress or everyday use. It makes a great gift for anyone with long hair, and nature enthusiasts, and is a nice practical alternative to jewelry. Each barrette I make is handmade and thus one of a kind.
This unique 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!
