Description
A love letter has been written and tied to the shaft of an arrow, resembling an arrow letter. This is a cute single hairpin with a swaying heart design.
The entire shaft resembles an arrow, with a feather ornament and a love letter tied to the tip. The feathers are slightly thicker and the sides are polished. They sparkle when exposed to light, creating a truly striking effect. The text has a matte finish to express the texture of paper, creating a soft impression. A heart charm hangs from a chain that glitters and sways sweetly from a heart-shaped hole. The shaft is made of durable brass, making it easy to use even for those with long hair, and it can be worn alone to hold your hair up. This hairpin can be easily paired with Western clothing, yukata, and kimono, regardless of the season.
Designer's thoughts
Taking inspiration from the ancient method of "yabun," a method of anonymously conveying messages to someone from a certain distance, this hairpin embodies the sentimental image of someone secretly slipping a love letter into a shoe locker. The realistic folds, as if just tied, capture the softness of the paper, and the letter features a heart-shaped hole, from which hangs a chain that sways back and forth. The design evokes the bittersweet feeling of a love letter acknowledging secret feelings, overflowing with emotion, and the ever-wavering passion of love. Wearing this hairpin will help you find the courage to take that final step. Win the heart of that special someone you're interested in.
