Hair barrette with a clip
Leather hair barrette attached to a clip.
Made of high quality vegetable-tanned leather, decorated with a hand carved ornament. The colors of the item may slightly differ from the ones shown as it is hand painted and the result depends on many factors.
This scrupulously crafted fashion accessory is totally hand made from start to the end: cut, carved, stitched, painted, and stuffed to give it a convex outline. The metal clip is the only manufactured part.
Get it for yourself or as a present for the one you care about and you won't be disappointed. The highest quality leather and paints guarantee this barrette to remain as new for many years.
The process of giving a 3-dimensional appearance to leather craft objects is called leather carving. Only quality veg-tanned leather is suitable for carving because of its two essential qualities: the ability to absorb water and the grain which holds the shape after the carving is complete. No other type of leather can be used for carving. Leather carving is not a rocket science of course, but it does require a few special tools, knowledge and a lot of practice. Leather carving is time consuming and sometimes tedious process. That's why there are not so many such offers on the market.
