French Clasp Barrette // Tortoise

The French clasp actually holds my fine hair without slipping, which no other barrette has managed. I wore it through a windy afternoon and it stayed put.

The acetate has that lovely, subtle depth you only get with real tortoise celluloid, and the grip holds my fine hair all day without pinching. I've already ordered a second one. It's delicate enough that I forget I'm wearing it, yet it stays put through a full workday and even a quick yoga class.

The curve sits perfectly against my head and holds fine hair without pulling or slipping, which I didn't expect from such a delicate-looking piece. The acetate feels smooth and substantial, and the French clasp snaps shut with a satisfying click. I've worn it every day since it arrived.
