Butterfly Hair Pin With Layered Wings

A butterfly caught mid-flight, cut from layered acetate so the upper wings lift slightly away from the lower pair. The translucent finish lets the light through, which keeps the shape delicate rather than costumey, and the long pin base slides flat against the head. Use it to sweep back a growing-out fringe, mark the end of a half-up section, or sit it above a low ponytail. Marbled amber, soft blush and a checked tartan give the same silhouette three very different moods.
