Woven butterfly pony tail barrettes
This pony-tail barrette will show your appreciation for nature and style. A super-talented artisan from the Peruvian Amazon has transformed simple chambira palm fiber into three life-like models of Amazonian butterflies. These include the monarch, blue morpho, scarlet peacock, and green-banded urania.
These ethically sourced barrettes are made with natural chambira palm fiber harvested from the artisans' forest fields. The woven tops are sewn onto a high quality (2" long) barrette back made with genuine French white steel.
These and other designs are also available in flat barrettes and hair clips.
Please remember that each hand made craft is unique and may vary slightly from the photo of the model shown in this listing.
Models: monarch (EBCI027), morpho (EBCI24), scarlet peacock (EBCI25), urania (EBCI26)
Support native artisans & rainforest in the Amazon
Amazon forest loss is driving species to extinction, aggravating global warming, and robbing people of unique medicines, foods and other benefits. 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.
