The World of Oakland
Leonardo Da Vinci
“Where the mind does not work with the hand, there is no art”
Particularly gentle
Rhodoid hair accessories are very comfortable to wear, have no sharp edges and are particularly gentle on the scalp and hair. The fine shine of the surface does not fade even after many years.
Handmade in France
From the heart of Europe
Our luxurious world of hair accessories has been inspiring for decades. We believe that exclusive hair accessories should not just be reserved for a small group. Oakland barrettes are of the highest quality and perfect quality - and are usually worn for many years. Enjoy these unique pieces of jewelry and make hair accessories part of your personal lifestyle.
As a traditional company, Oakland only uses the best natural resin, also known as rhodoid, for this range. This special material comes from Italy and is produced there by a family business from the fibers of the finest cotton (cellulose). Cellulose is a natural polymer and is the backbone of the entire plant world.
The granules made from it are dyed, pressed and processed into blocks in Italy.
These large plates can be cut into thin slices, from which the individual hair accessories are then cut. Our rhodoid is processed into hair accessories in France in up to 16 steps, some of which are still done by hand. Each barrette has its own pattern, which is why hair accessories made from rhodoid are truly unique.
The elaborately produced hair ornaments originate mainly from the French town of Oyonnax. The small town is located on the southern edge of the Jura Mountains between Lyon and Geneva. This region is known worldwide for its traditional production of combs and hair ornaments. It has been the center of the plastics industry since the end of the 18th century.
