Coral Red Star Cube Hairpin, Hand Tinted
A hairpin topped with a small stylised cube in polyamide, hand tinted coral red with nontoxic colours. Inside the cube, oblique lines can be read as a stylised star, a design the studio calls the star cube. Two elongated teeth run below it so it sits into the hair. It is light, and meant as a decoration rather than a pin that holds a lot of hair on its own.
A cube with a star inside
The main part of the object is a small stylised cube, 0.6 inches on each side. Inside it, a design made of oblique lines can be read as a stylised star. The studio calls the design the star cube and it is exclusive to them. Below the cube, two elongated teeth run down so the pin fits into the hair.
The whole thing is 2.8 inches long and very light. That lightness is worth knowing about before you buy: it is a decoration rather than a working clip, and it does not hold a lot of hair itself. One way to wear it is over a hairdo that is already secured with an elastic band or hair bobble.
Polyamide, tinted by hand
The cube and its teeth are polyamide, a material that is solid and slightly elastic. The surface has a sand-like feel, a texture of minuscule grains that looks almost like velvet and is pleasant at the touch. The coral red is applied by hand with nontoxic colours, which is where the finish comes from.

Care
