Hair Clips

The right hair clip elevates an outfit in four seconds, for a fraction of the price of a new top. We genuinely love that. Not because hair accessories are some untapped fashion mystery, but because so few people approach them with the editorial care that they truly deserve. A claw clip at the base of your neck, a pearl barrette pinned slightly off centre, a pair of tortoiseshell clips keeping your fringe tied back when it just wants to roam. These are not finishing touches. Considered details that take everything else you’re wearing up a notch. Fewer people tend to curate their hair clip collections with the same seriousness. And what we’ve noticed, writing about fashion as long as we have, is that a lot of people own hair clips the way they own restaurant menus: collected over time rather than with intent. Stuffing them in a bathroom drawer and forgetting about them until you need something, quickly. The result of this approach is usually a bunch of cheap, plastic clips that tug at your hair, slip out of place and break easily, none of which are worth reaching for. We wanted to change that, starting with an edit of clips that are actually worth owning. We stock clips that clip. Seriously, that’s the foundation of this edit and it’s non negotiable. After that, we’ve hunted down clips that bring something to an outfit, rather than just keep your hair out of your face. Everything from architectural-looking claw clips that add serious style when seen from behind, to slim, pearl barrettes that lend second-day hair some much needed intention. Larger clips that can keep an up-do in place on nights out, without venturing into costume territory. Small, ethereal ones that work with every length and feel equally as wardrobe-worthy at 40 as they do at 20. Materials matter here too, which is why we’ve also been intentional about that. Think rich, weighted acetate, metal that won’t tarnish after a month, and resin pieces that feel elevated, not like child’s toys. The beauty of hair clips is they’re one of the only accessories where investing a little bit of thought and care pays off every morning when you’re getting ready. The best ones quickly become a part of your uniform. It’s exactly why this edit exists.
