Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Céline Triomphe Hair Clip made from? A: It is crafted from acetate with steel hardware and features Céline’s Triomphe motif in a gold‑tone finish.
Q: What are the measurements of this clip? A: Céline lists the large Triomphe hair claw at around 4.8 × 7 × 3.9 cm (1.89 × 2.76 × 1.54 in). Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this specific piece.
Q: Will it hold thick or long hair? A: As a large claw, it offers a secure hold for most medium hair in full updos and works well for half‑up styles or sectioning on thicker, longer hair. For very dense hair, an XL claw can provide a firmer full updo. Technique matters—twist and section your hair before clipping for best grip.
Q: Is acetate gentler than regular plastic on hair? A: Yes. Cellulose acetate has a smooth, polished finish that is typically gentler and more durable than basic injection‑moulded plastics, helping to minimise snagging and breakage.
Q: How should I care for and clean it? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid hairspray, perfume, oils and harsh cleaners directly on the clip, and keep away from high heat (radiators, direct sunlight, hot hairdryers). For the acetate, you may use a barely damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Do not soak, and avoid abrasive fabrics on the gold‑tone motif. Store it in its box when not in use.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: Not recommended. Prolonged contact with water—especially salt or chlorinated water—can dull acetate and may corrode the metal spring. If it gets wet, rinse with fresh water, pat dry, and leave the clip open to air‑dry completely before storing.
Q: How can I style it? A: Try a French twist or full updo on medium hair, a half‑up or low twist on thicker hair, or use it to secure a ponytail base. For thick hair, section before clipping for a comfortable, long‑lasting hold.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This piece comes with a box as shown in the product information.
Q: Is this item authentic and what is its condition? A: All items at A Retro Tale are thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts. This clip is in Very Good condition with light signs of use; the hardware is shiny with light surface scratches noted in the product information.
