80mm 3.25inch French Barrette Auto Lock Style Hair Clip Made in France Copy. Read Description. S4059

 As many of my customers are aware the original company that produced "MADE IN FRANCE" auto lock barrettes is no longer making them.  We have been looking for an alternative.  This is the barrette we are now offering as a substitute for high quality French barrettes. We think it meets the objective. It is an identical copy as far as I can discern. This barrette uses the same auto lock design with a 2 piece construction as opposed to the 3 pieces typically found on the cheaper barrettes. It has smooth rivet holes. I measure them at 3mm. I have sold this barrette for a number of years and they had been printed with "clip Paris" or "clip France"  A bit of propaganda for the customer I guess. This group of barrettes is not printed. Same company.  Actually printing is a special order and if you want 10,000pcs we can have whatever you want printed on them. This barrette is made in Asia, but so are iphones so not all things have quality issues.    My feeling is the quality of the clip is close to the French brand.  I do not see any other options moving forward at this time.  Happy to hear feedback on them.
