Bicycle Gears Stamped Leather Hair Barrette

Looking for a unique design on your barrette? The textured bicycle gears are great for any cycling enthusiast, or just someone looking for something a little different.  All-natural black polish and silver surface polish give a unique metallic appearance, but is not heavy like metal. 

Sturdy, practical, and eco-friendly, this barrette will add a touch of sparkle and goes with almost anything. It is 100% plastic free and is made from biodegradable and upcycled scrap leather securely attached to a French style metal hair clip. It is colored with completely natural and non-toxic homemade dye and finished with beeswax polish. Finally, its packaging is zero-waste paper and is shipped in upcycled padded mailing envelopes, so your barrette is completely green from start to finish!

• Heavy grade leather
• Provides a strong and sturdy hold for a wide variety of hair types
• Available in Large for standard hair or Extra Large for thick or long hair

Functional beauty, quality craftsmanship

Or should I say, crafts-woman-ship? ;) These clips 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.

HOW IT HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT

Production of new leather creates 17kg of carbon per square meter. Using upcycled leather scraps does not require new production and saves carbon! It's as simple as that! Plus, the natural and homemade dye used in the production of these barrettes does not require any manufacturing or release any chemicals into the air! As a bonus, the package is made from zero-waste paper and it is shipped in upcycled mailing envelopes. This item is green in every way that it can be!
