Barrettes
French Hair Barrettes for Ponytails, Handmade in France
Our French hair barrettes use the legendary matic-system clasp, France's ancestral fastening for a perfect, secure ponytail. Handmade in France from cellulose acetate, each barrette holds your hair firmly and comfortably while adding a touch of French elegance. MC Davidian has crafted luxury hair accessories on the French Riviera since 1980.
