Keep it long, treasure it long.

Easy hair arrangements

Hair styling is the finishing touch to your coordination. Whether it's a day you want to go out looking your best or a day for relaxing at home, cute hair accessories can help you style your hair nicely without spending much time. That's why I especially recommend them to those who struggle with hair arranging. Barrettes and clips that can transform your hairstyle into a stylish one just by adding them to a half-up style or clipping them near your ears are particularly recommended.

The Midi Paris Barrette by MACHETE that I'm introducing is made of colorful cellulose acetate material, with each piece having a unique pattern. From marble-like gradients to mottled marble-like colors, these fun designs can add accent to your usual outfit that tends to become monotonous. As it's a medium-sized barrette, it's suitable for short to medium hair, and for long hair, you can use it to pin back the hair falling around your face. It's a versatile accessory that suits any hairstyle.

Adding a touch of playfulness to your everyday style

The Midi Paris Barrette is made from "cellulose acetate," a material also used for eyeglass frames. Cellulose acetate, made from plant fibers, is known for its excellent transparency and durability due to its adhesive properties, making it resistant to breakage. Its soft texture, glossy finish, and the deep, beautiful colors it can produce have earned it the nickname "plastic jewel." The designs vary greatly, from marble-like patterns created by adding other colors to the base color, to gradients within pale hues. Each barrette is unique, with its own individuality, making it as valuable as a one-of-a-kind piece.

Barrettes are convenient for gathering hair. They can quickly transform your hairstyle into a stylish one just by pinning up gathered hair. Being smaller in size, these barrettes offer a wide range of styling options - from pinning back bangs, adding them to the side, to twisting and pinning hair. They're suitable for a wide range of hairstyles from short to long. MACHETE's barrettes, with their soft texture and color, are suitable for various occasions including the office. They're hair accessories that can make your everyday life a little more special.

Considering the impact on the environment and animals

In this era of abundance, choosing "the one" from various options requires more than just aesthetic reasons. What story lies behind an item until it reaches our hands? The accessories proposed by MACHETE each have a story - in their materials, manufacturing process, and the thoughts put into them.

The Midi Heirloom Claw, beautiful whether in solid color or with a marble-like pattern, is made from Italian cellulose acetate. While petroleum-based resins are common nowadays, the ancestors of resins were made from plants. The challenge of synthetic resins began about 200 years ago. An artificial ivory made from cellulose (cotton) was invented, which is said to be the world's first resin. Thus, "acetate" was originally made from plant fibers, and although called a "resin," acetate is not a chemical fiber but a plant fiber made from cotton and high-purity pulp. Being a plant fiber, it's organic like humans, gentle on the skin, less likely to cause allergies, and feels warm when in direct contact with the skin.

Jewelry that continues to shine and be loved for a long time

MACHETE is an accessory brand established in 2017 in America by designer Jennifer Machete. After obtaining a degree in art history in Gainesville, Florida, Jennifer was inspired by antique and vintage jewelry collections and began designing her own accessories.
While she herself preferred simple, classic tortoiseshell accessories, she considered it unethical to choose actual tortoiseshell due to sea turtle protection ordinances and serious environmental impacts. This led her to consider creating something similar using other materials, which became the starting point for using cellulose acetate, the brand's iconic material.

MACHETE's accessories are for everyday use. Casual, colorful, and fun. Why not go out wearing MACHETE's Midi Heirloom Claw as if wishing for such a daily life?
