Can't give enough love for this hairpin. I first came upon this craftsperson at an art market and bought my first hairpin in person there - I was a little nervous thinking it would be too fragile (I have 2b/2c hair down to the middle of my back) but it is the definition of "small but mighty." This is the third one I have bought of this design (my dog keeps using them as her preferred chew toy if I accidentally leave it in reach) and I will keep coming back for it forever - one of my favorite hair pins. It holds my hair so securely, and is just too beautiful. This time I also treated myself to the bat as well. Love love love. Also ships fast! Thank you!


It is much smaller than I expected, smaller than the palm of my hand. However, it has surprisingly held up my waist-length hair very well, better than some of my other hair sticks. I do wish it was longer/bigger though, so the moth was more visible. Adding a size comparison photo in the listing would be advisable, since many reviews have mentioned the sizing.



This was gorgeous! Thank you!
