Momo Hajimete Saku Hair Accessory by Cotake

This hair accessory was crafted in bamboo by Mikiko Sato at her Cotake studio.

With the lightness and strength that characterise its material, the piece can comfortably be worn for extended periods.

Sato says that the shape was partially inspired by the first peach blossoms of spring, and this is the Japanese meaning of its name.

It has a symmetrical, hand crafted beauty.

It is 5.5cm wide, 4cm high and 2cm deep. It weighs 60g.

As each piece is hand made from bamboo strips, there may be slight variations between them.
