Twist Hair Barrette

A new technique, two pieces of fiber-wrapped cording are twisted and hand-stitched for a modern and colorful rope-like chain.

Handmade by Sara McClelland.

SASHA is comprised of handmade fiber-based accessories inspired by symmetry, unique color palettes, and texture. Accessories range from modern knotted necklaces to color-blocked earrings and statement bangles. All textiles are sourced domestically and support an average of 12 small businesses in the creative and production processes. Each accessory incorporates hand-wrapping cording in various textiles like chenille, cotton, and wool yarns, or tattered chiffon and printed fabrics. The wrapped cording is then twisted into decorative knots and combined with brass beads, wood, and/or resin.

SASHA accessories are statement, one-of-a-kind pieces designed to invoke joy and add an exclamation point to every outfit.
