The butterfly in this barrette could become your constant companion. It is beautifully made with chambira palm fiber by one of the most talented artisans in the Peruvian Amazon. Current models include the scarlet peacock, green-banded urania, and the iconic monarch butterfly that exemplifies the wonder of nature and the risk of tropical deforestation. This barrette will add an distinctive element of nature to your hair as well as a natural fashion accessory for your hat.
The top of these barrettes are woven with natural chambira palm fiber harvested from the artisans' forest fields. The unique front is matched with a high quality (2 3/4" long) barrette back made with genuine French white steel.
These and other designs are also available in pony tail barrettes and hair clips.

Support native artisans & rainforest in the Amazon

Cutting and burning forests is often more profitable than conserving them, so some native communities in northern Peru have illegally logged and grown coca and other cash-crops to escape poverty.
