Lacquer & 23K Gold Hand-Painted Hair Clips — Made in Mexico
A tiny work of art for your hair. These distinctive hair clips are hand-painted in Mexico using the traditional technique of laca perfilada en oro, bringing together intricate craftsmanship, vibrant colour, and genuine 23-karat gold leaf.
Each piece begins with a lacquered metal base. The design is painted by hand, then carefully outlined with a special preparation made from natural minerals and clays. This raised outline creates the surface onto which delicate sheets of 23K gold leaf are applied by hand. Finally, the composition is enriched with oil paints, adding layers of vivid colour and fine detail against the luminous gold.
The result is an eye-catching contrast of colourful florals, foliage and decorative motifs framed in glowing gold. Because every clip is individually painted and gilded by hand, no two pieces are exactly alike—small variations are part of their character and make each one truly unique.
Part of our Lacquer & Gold Collection, these clips transform an everyday hair accessory into a miniature piece of Mexican decorative art. Wear one as a subtle statement or combine several to create a more playful, colourful look.
