The French Claw Clips That Turn Any Updo Into a Summer Dream

With Paris Couture Week coming to a close today, decadent displays of feathery frocks, platinum paillettes, and elegantly embroidered eveningwear have taken over the Paname—but the extreme glamour isn’t reserved for the runway. Just look to French label McDavidian, whose eye-catching claw clips have become a double-tap worthy addition to the lengths of les femmes françaises and style-savvy models like Caroline Brasch Nielsen.

The South of France-made ornaments, which can be found in Paris's Pharmacie Anglaise on avenue des Champs Elysées, are a study in form and function: Though made from pragmatically durable plastic, they come adorned with Swarovski crystals and are available in a maelstrom of whimsical shapes, shades, and sizes: petite flowers, rosy hearts, even summer-ready shells and seahorses. Consider them the perfect pick-me-up for second (or third) day hair—the kind that comes with the territory of Fashion Week’s late nights-turned-early mornings—and a mandatory souvenir.
