About Colette

The French pin, done right.

Colette started with one question: why is the most elegant way to put your hair up also the hardest to buy well? The French pin has held chignons in Paris for a century. The versions we found were flimsy, overpriced, or buried at the back of the claw-clip aisle.

So we kept it simple. One smooth U-shaped pin in polished metal or acetate, sized to twist and hold real hair. No teeth, no hinge, no elastic. Ten seconds to a chignon that holds, because the pin catches the hair against the scalp instead of clamping it.

What we stand for

  • One tool, not a drawer full. A single pin replaces the claw clip, the scrunchie and the twenty bobby pins.
  • Honest pricing. Free US shipping, 30-day returns, and the price you see is the price you pay.
  • Made for real hair. Fine to thick, straight to curly, as long as it is long enough to twist.
