About Oaken

Oaken brass hairpins are individually made by hand in a small workshop in Cornwall. A sustainable alternative to your everyday hair tie. Beautiful and functional these hairpins will mould, bend and patina over time and hopefully become part of your everyday attire and ritual. We find the easiest way to begin wearing these is to twist your hair into a bun and wind it through. They do take a bit of practice so don’t give up! they will be very secure once you find the way of using them that is right for you and your hair.Read their story
