Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

What does a Chinese hairpin symbolize?

A Chinese hairpin symbolizes a woman’s transition into adulthood, as it was traditionally worn after coming-of-age. It also served as a token of love or engagement, sometimes broken into two halves for lovers to reunite later.

Are the metal hairpins suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, though they’re more formal and refined, you can absolutely wear them daily. They’re perfect for dinners, evenings out, or whenever you want a touch of class — without the bulk of a regular hair clip.

What’s the difference between the metal and acetate hairpins?

Our metal hairpins are more formal — they have a strong hold, a sleek curved design, and give a vintage, refined look perfect for evenings or special occasions
reflecting traditional Chinese aesthetics.

The acetate hair pins are lighter and ideal for daily use — think university days, brunches, or casual outings with a soft, modern touch.

How long does shipping take?
