Vintage Sparrow Barrette

This rare French vintage faux tortoise shell Sparrow Barrette is an essential for all bird lovers. 'Put a Bird on It' has never been more appropriate. Perfect for clipping hair out of your face and turning your outfit into an adorable statement. 

Age: 1970-1980s

Origin:  Made in France (marked on back)

Material: Plastic - Faux Tortoise Shell 

Size: 3.75" x 1.25" (see 3rd image for scale)

Condition: Rare Vintage 'Old New Stock'  - Meaning this hair clip is vintage, but has never been worn/used. 

Tip: Gently bend the brass hardware to allow more or less hair to be held in the clip. This will allow the barrette to be worn for hours without budging. The plastic is very lightweight so you hardly notice you're wearing anything in your hair.
