FAQ

What makes The Barrette no1 unique? Plus

Think of it as a refined upgrade from your usual hair tie or claw clip. Handcrafted in France by a family-run atelier with over 70 years of tradition, The Barrette no1 brings together timeless design and a modern approach to effortless hair styling.

Is it made of plastic? Plus

Not even close. All our barrettes and combs are made from premium cellulose acetate - a hypoallergenic, biodegradable material made from cotton flowers and wood pulp. We use only the finest Italian acetate from the Mazzucchelli family, who’ve been perfecting it for seven generations. It’s what gives our pieces their signature lightweight feel, lasting quality, and gentle touch on your hair. Built to last, not just for the season.

What hair types is The Barrette no1 best for? Plus

It’s ideal for medium to long hair - whether straight or softly wavy.

Is The Barrette no1 heavy? Plus

Not at all. It’s incredibly lightweight, making it comfortable to wear for long periods without weighing down your hair or scalp.

How is cellulose acetate different from regular plastic? Plus

Cellulose acetate (also known as faux tortoiseshell) is a premium material. Unlike plastic, it’s plant-based, biodegradable, lighter, more flexible, and resists scratches and wear. This means acetate barrettes are not only more comfortable to wear but also more durable, safe for sensitive scalps, and—importantly—better for the planet.

Does each barrette have the same pattern? Plus

No, each one is unique. Because acetate is dyed throughout and cut from large sheets, every barrette features a slightly different pattern. That’s what makes every The Barrette no1 one-of-a-kind.
