The Courteous

Since the dawn of time, ever since hair first appeared on earth (and atop countless heads), the realm of hairstyling has never ceased to evolve. Through the ages, following trends, and sometimes breaking conventions, hairstyling has become an art form. Egyptian women with their elaborate hairstyles of a thousand plaits or Marie Antoinette with her towering headdresses reaching up to the heavens cannot attest otherwise.

The five great pillars of the art of hairstyling are: knowledge of hair, mastery of the gesture, patience, the perfect tools, and creativity. Like sculpture, this art transforms a daily gesture, which for some can feel like a chore, into a refined and poetic ritual. Under the fairy-like touch of a skilled hairdresser or an expert stylist, hair becomes a true ephemeral masterpiece, endowing every face with a haughty allure. Whether you like your hair tidy, naturally beautiful, or extravagantly wild, colourful or tousled, the Officine has a collection of combs, clips, and acetate accessories to delight and suit every hairstyle.

A true hair-jewel carved from high-quality acetate, The Courteous is a large elliptical barrette that adorns thick braids, ponytails, and other hair sculptures. More than just a useful accessory, it is an ornament that elevates the apparent simplicity of a hairstyle in just a few gestures. Its large size allows it to capture multiple strands, while its golden metal clasp seals the look with elegance.

Available in two colours, tortoiseshell or ivory, this clip will undoubtedly find the ideal hair for its clasp!
