Decorative and Functional Design

I spend a lot of time testing my clips to make sure they are comfortable to wear and won't fall apart after months of use doing...well...everything in them, including running! I love the extra large size for tidy twists, and also  wear the (smaller) "large" size for ponytails and more free-form twists, and find that hairs don't get uncomfortably ripped and pulled as they do with many other barrettes I own. 

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 not come off without significant effort/power tools. They are available in a variety of designs, colors and textures.

4 Different Sizes!

Colors

Complex color blends that bring out unique textures is a signature element of many of my designs, but I also offer basics such as matte black and basic copper. 

The leather I work with starts out sandy tan, and for most designs is dyed black after tooling or embossing the desired texture. I use an antique-style vinegaroon dye, which is made from simple household ingredients. For all but basic black styles, colors are layered with a combination of sponge and rollers before sealing for long-term wear and protection. 

Most colors are available to be applied to any design for a custom order. This is a sampling of my most popular colors.
