Each hand made clip blends beauty, comfort, and practicality, designed to suit all hair types, sitting flat on the head, to stay gently in place all day, without pulling, headaches, or damage. Whether you’re dressing up or winding down, Butterfly Clips are the perfect balance of form, function, and freedom, designed to celebrate you.

Meet The Founder - Emma

I founded Butterfly Clips in 2007, Inspired by the extraordinary artistry of handcrafted hair accessories made by skilled weavers in Gauteng, South Africa, what began as a discovery quickly became a purpose-driven journey to create a brand that beautifully connects style with empowerment. Guided by a deep commitment to ethical enterprise and the values of quality, community, and conscious trade, our weavers create designs that not only look beautiful but also support meaningful, sustainable livelihoods. With our family roots deeply ingrained in South Africa, our weavers are truly part of our extended family, and we maintain strong, personal relationships through regular visits. Butterfly Clips is more than a hair accessory brand it’s a story of connection, craftsmanship, and care. Style with purpose, always.
