Sake Bottle Hand-Painted Hair Claw Clip

There are practical hair clips, and then there are hair clips shaped like tiny bottles of sake.

I know which camp I'd rather be in.

This is one of those accessories that instantly tells people you don't take getting dressed too seriously. It has all the charm of a miniature souvenir, but it's beautifully made, with rich marbled acetate, hand-painted details and a shape that's surprisingly elegant once it's in your hair.

The extra-strong hinge gives it a really secure hold, so it's more than just a pretty clip. It'll happily keep a full twist in place all day or sweep everything back when you're in that "hair off my face immediately" sort of mood.

Designed in New York and produced in small batches, every clip is individually hand-painted by Solar Eclipse's artists, meaning each one has its own subtle character. It's crafted from biodegradable cellulose acetate made from recycled wood pulp too, making it feel satisfyingly weighty and smooth in your hand.

I'd wear this with the simplest outfit imaginable and let the clip do all the talking. It's funny, beautifully made and just the right amount of unexpected.
