Star Cube Hairpin, Hand Tinted Purple Polyamide
A hairpin built around a small stylized cube with a star pattern running through it, a design the shop calls star cube and made only by them. It is 2.8 inches long overall, made in polyamide and hand tinted purple. Two elongated teeth sit it into the hair. It is decorative, very light, and best used to finish a hairdo that is already held.
A cube with a star inside
The main shape is a small stylized cube, 0.6 inches on each side. Inside it, oblique lines cut across in a pattern that can be read as a stylized star. The shop calls the design star cube and it is theirs. Two elongated teeth run back from the cube so it fits into the hair.
The whole piece is 2.8 inches long and made from polyamide, which is solid but slightly elastic and very light in the hair. It is hand tinted purple, and the surface has a fine sand-like grain that feels almost like velvet at the touch.
Decorative, and honest about it
This is a decoration rather than a working clip. It is very light and does not hold a lot of hair by itself, so the maker suggests using it to complete a hairdo already held with an elastic band or a hair bobble. Used that way it does exactly its job, and the star cube is what people notice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it hold my hair up?
On its own, no. The shop is clear that this is a decorative piece: it is very light and does not hold a lot of hair by itself. The intended use is to finish a hairdo already held with an elastic band or bobble.
How big is it?
The cube is 0.6 inches on each side, and the whole pin is 2.8 inches long including the two elongated teeth that sit it into the hair. That makes it small enough to read as a detail rather than a centerpiece.
What is the surface like?
The polyamide has a fine, sand-like texture made of minuscule grains, closer to velvet than to plastic at the touch. This one is hand tinted purple, and hand finishing means small variations between pieces.
