Confetti-lucite bobby pins, lilac groundEntry/Object ID
2025.1.118Description
A matched pair of hair grips (bobby pins / hairpins) of the slide type, each with a slim, slightly curved bar of translucent lilac/lavender plastic mounted along a sprung metal wire. The plastic bars are embedded with confetti flecks — small chips of silver/metallic, white, red, and gold suspended in the lilac resin, in the "confetti lucite" manner. Each bar caps the upper leg of a U-shaped sprung metal pin (the plain wire end projecting at one side), which grips the hair. The second image shows the pair displayed together on a small white tile/card. Both are intact and glossy, the lilac ground reading slightly more pink or more lavender depending on lighting.Use
