Ideal for bringing shine to long, straight hair, The Traditionalist – The Eldest comb restores its magnificence. This comb from the Officine can masterfully tame length: its teeth come in wide or fine spacing and make detangling softer. It fits perfectly in the hand and is available in two colours: black or amber yellow. Its large size makes it ideal for use in the bathroom. Its slightly angular lines make it one of the most popular combs among lovers of beautiful things and other aesthetes.This comb is handcrafted in Switzerland by one of the last manufacturers in Europe. Cut from a block of very high-quality acetate, it is shaped, sculpted and then polished. The teeth and notches are especially arranged so as not to injure the hair. A plant fibre, the acetate reveals a unique pattern specific to each comb. This luxurious object is stored in our famous velvet pouches to be transported safely. “Her hair dreamt about being very carefully combed in the morning.”Richard Brautigan, Sombrero Fallout, 1980.

The wide-tooth side glides through my long hair without a single snag, and the shine it leaves behind is honestly noticeable. I’ve tried cheaper combs that yank and break, but this one feels sturdy and gentle at the same time. My hair actually looks put-together now, which is a small miracle for me.
