Three acorns and their oak leaves on a flat French barrette, with the little scales on each cup drawn by hand by Juliette Mallet, the illustrator behind Coucou Suzette. The rich browns and deep forest green make it feel like something from a fairy tale, and it is lovely worn the way our mums wore barrettes in the nineties: holding a half up style at the back, finishing a low ponytail, or gathering everything up after a quick twist.

Cut from cellulose acetate, a plant based material, on a metal French barrette clasp that suits all hair types. It measures 9.2 cm long and 4 cm wide. Each barrette comes from a different sheet of acetate, so the colour varies slightly from piece to piece. Made in China in an audited factory.
