Velvet Bow Hair Barrette

Clipped it at the nape of a low ponytail for a Christmas party and the long tails looked beautiful down my back. Black velvet is so elegant.

Wore my usual jeans and jumper with this in a half-up style and felt styled for once. The velvet feels soft and rich.

The burgundy is deep and gorgeous, like red wine. I put it on a low pony for my birthday dinner and my friends loved it.

Twisted my hair half-up, snapped this in, and that was that. The velvet looks sumptuous against a dark dress.

Bought one for me and one for my mum. She wears hers at a low ponytail and says it makes her feel dressed up.

Matches my Christmas jumper and my lipstick. The tails fall down the back so nicely.

It is properly oversized, exactly what I wanted. The barrette stayed put through a full night of dancing.

Lovely bow and a really good colour, but the long tails get squashed if you chuck it in a bag. A gentle brush with the pile brings them back.

Wore it to a winter wedding with a green dress. The big velvet bow got so many comments and it did not slip once.

Really pretty and the velvet feels soft. My hair is fine so I had to position the barrette carefully to keep it steady.

It is beautiful, but velvet attracts fluff and bits of lint. I keep a damp cloth handy to spot clean it, which is no biggie.

I like how big the bow is, but be warned it is properly oversized. Perfect for a party, a bit much for the office.
