Pince papillon // Sucette

It’s such a tiny thing, but the French clasp opens and closes with zero fuss, and the vintage butterfly detail feels way more delicate in person than the photos showed. I clipped it into a half-up style and it stayed put all afternoon without pulling.

The gold-toned clasp is so smooth to slide in, and the acetate has this lovely weight that keeps it from slipping out of my hair. It’s exactly the dainty vintage vibe I wanted for everyday wear.

The French clasp holds surprisingly firm, so I don't have to keep re-pinning it every time I bend over. The gold barrette itself is dainty but the 2.5-inch size feels like real presence in my hair. Arrived just before the mid-January window, which I appreciated.
