FAQs

What material is the Vivienne Westwood Mini Bas Relief Bobby Pin made of?

The bobby pin is made of silver-plated brass and features crystal embellishments.

How do I clean this bobby pin?

Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, and abrasive materials.

What are the dimensions of the bobby pin?

The dimensions are approximately 4 cm in length, 3 cm in height, and 0.5 cm in width.

Is this bobby pin suitable for all hair types?

It is designed for general use, but its effectiveness in holding may vary with very thick or heavy hair types. Its primary function is decorative.

Does the orb design lie flat?

The orb design is a two-dimensional bas relief, meaning it is raised but relatively flat, designed to sit elegantly on the hair without excessive protrusion.

What does 'bas relief' mean in this context?

Bas relief refers to a sculpture or carving technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background of the same material. In this case, the orb design is raised from the surface of the bobby pin.

Is this a functional bobby pin or purely decorative?

It is designed to be both functional, with a secure clip closure for holding hair, and decorative, featuring the iconic orb logo and crystal embellishments.

Troubleshooting

Bobby pin does not hold hair securely.

Ensure hair is clean and dry before applying. For very fine hair, consider using a texturizing spray or a small amount of dry shampoo to create grip before applying the pin.

Crystals appear loose or have fallen off.

This indicates potential damage. Handle with extreme care. If crystals have fallen, it may not be repairable without professional assistance. Contact the retailer or Vivienne Westwood for advice on repair services if available.

Silver plating looks tarnished.

Gently wipe the bobby pin with a soft, dry jewelry polishing cloth. Avoid using chemical silver cleaners, as they can be too harsh for the plated finish and crystals. Store in a dry place.
