I believe it was over 20 years ago that I purchased this item, which was a limited edition sold at the Colette Malouf counter in Shinjuku Isetan. It has the warmth of natural wood, a good feel, and a simple, unadorned design that is attractive. It is currently a hard-to-find item. I have only used it 2-3 times and have stored it carefully. There are no noticeable stains, but the tips of both are broken. There is no problem with use. It is handmade, and there is a slight scent of charcoal from the time of purchase. It is very light and easy to use. The appearance changes depending on the angle, and it has a luxurious feel. Color: Black For those with long hair! Top: Length approx. 12cm Bottom: Length approx. 14.5cm #hairpin #handmade #naturalwood
