EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage image showcases a selection of Kirbigrip Hair Pins artfully arranged on a card, perfectly poised to enhance the fashionable hairstyles of the 20th century. The image, which dates back to the era of bobbed and shingled hair, captures the essence of a time when these hairpins were an essential accessory for women seeking to achieve the latest trends in short hair. The Kirbigrip Hair Pins, with their distinctive curved clasp and gripping teeth, were a popular choice for securing sleek bobbed and shingled hairstyles. Their innovative design allowed them to grip the hair firmly yet gently, without causing damage or leaving unsightly marks. The card, adorned with intricate floral patterns and a subtle color palette, adds to the overall elegance of the scene. The presence of a beard and a pair of scissors on the card suggests that the Kirbigrip Hair Pins were being sold by a barber or a hairdresser, further emphasizing their role as a staple in the hair industry during this period. The image also provides a glimpse into the rich history of the hairpin trade and industry. The Kirbigrip Hair Pins were manufactured in places like Birmingham and London, and their popularity extended beyond the borders of the United Kingdom, making them a sought-after product in various parts of the world. This image not only serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of vintage hairstyles but also highlights the importance of small, locally-made products in shaping the beauty industry of the past.
