Barrette Alicante, large, elliptical

Let yourself be enchanted by the Alicante barrette, a stunning, elliptical hair accessory that captures the beauty and charm of the Spanish coastal town.

Inspired by Alicante’s picturesque beach promenade, where the path is paved with small black and white stones. The small black and white squares, interspersed with a wafer-thin golden line, skilfully break up the monotony of any hairstyle and add a touch of elegance that comes just in time for the autumn fashion season.

These barrettes are not just pieces of hair jewellery, but also symbols of fair trade and conscious consumption. They are the perfect gifts for women who value ethics, style and quality.
Whether used to add a touch of style to a simple hairstyle or as a highlight in an elaborate one, the Alicante barrette gives every look a personal touch. Discover how this unique accessory can enhance your wardrobe and make your hair shine.

How to use the barrette

These barrettes offer a wide range of ways to enhance and vary your hairstyle. These generously sized, elliptical barrettes are ideal for holding thick and long hair in place, but they can also elegantly hold fine hair together without weighing it down. You can use it to pin back a section of your hair – which is particularly handy for keeping your face clear – or to create a full updo for special occasions.

For a casual look, pull your hair back into a low ponytail and secure it with a barrette. This adds an elegant touch to your everyday outfit.
For more formal occasions, you might opt for a half-updo, where only the top sections of hair are pinned back to achieve a sophisticated elegance. Thanks to its elegant design and high-quality craftsmanship, the Alicante barrette holds your hair securely without damaging it or causing any uncomfortable tension on the scalp.

As well as serving as a hair accessory, the Alicante barrette highlights your commitment to fair trade and sustainable consumption. This piece is not just an accessory for your hairstyle, but also an expression of your awareness of fashion that is both ethical and stylish.

Material

Rhodoïd is a sheet material made from cotton in Italy. The cotton is dyed and pressed into blocks featuring a wide variety of colour patterns. Slices are cut from these blocks and then further processed in France, in over ten stages, to create enchanting hair jewellery and hair accessories.

Packaging and dispatch

When packaging our hair jewellery, we strive to strike a reliable balance between transport safety and sustainability. We therefore use only recycled paper and cardboard, as well as eco-friendly packing tape and cotton bags made from naturally renewable raw materials.

Fair Trade barrette

For us, Fair Trade isn’t just fundamental – it goes without saying! That’s why we’ve chosen suitable factories in Europe rather than opting for cheap manufacturing in Asia or Eastern Europe.

It is essential to us that our hair jewellery is manufactured under humane conditions, from the sourcing of raw materials right through to the finished product. Our geographical proximity allows us to gain a more detailed insight into the individual stages of production and significantly reduces transport distances, enabling us to make a substantial contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions and protecting the environment.

Our barrettes and their packaging are made predominantly from biodegradable raw materials sourced from sustainable agriculture. As our products are manufactured in Germany, France, Austria and Portugal, we can fully guarantee compliance with EU environmental standards, unlike products manufactured in Asia.
