Barely Pink Classic Bow - Small - Peace Silk

French barrette with classic bow made from organic, handwoven Peace Silk. We use raw silk, which has a coarser texture than silk satin and a more discreet luster.

We purchase the metal barrette from Delsol, which is a company in France. You probably have not heard about them, but they were actually the ones that invented the French barrette back in 1920. Delsol is the only company that produces this kind of hair barrettes in Europe, and their French barrettes are of a very good quality.

Dimensions: Width:  Silk bow: 3.5″, metal French barrette: 2.8″

The small bow holds a medium hair half-up ponytail.

Color: Light pink

Material: 100% Peace Silk (metal French barrette: Stainless steel)

Made in Cambodia
