About leather hair accessories
Hair accessories, such as clips and bands, are small and finished by hand or with metal fittings.
Leather accessories range from gloves and caps to jewellery-style pieces, patches, charms and identification holders.
Buyers who commonly request this style include fashion brands, retailers, corporate gift buyers and merchandise agencies.
Design and fit
These are the decisions that define leather hair accessories and are settled at briefing and sampling.
- Clip or band fitting
- Size and shape
- Edge finish
Provide size range and measuring method. For worn items include a size chart or a reference product.
Materials
Accessories use thin, flexible leathers where they are worn, such as lambskin and goatskin, and firmer leathers where they must hold their shape.
- Lambskin and SheepskinFine, light leather with a soft hand, widely used for jackets and gloves.
- GoatskinStrong, lightweight leather with a distinctive pebbled grain.
- Full-Grain LeatherThe outer layer of the hide with its natural grain intact and unsanded.
- Top-Grain LeatherThe outer layer of the hide, lightly sanded and usually finished for a more even surface.
- Vegetable-Tanned LeatherLeather tanned with plant tannins: firm, workable, and darkening with age.
Which of these are available for your project is confirmed at quotation. See all materials on the materials pages.

Development considerations
- Worn items need fit testing, especially gloves and headwear
- Small parts should be checked against your market safety rules for children
- Thin leathers need careful edge finishing
Branding, labels and packaging
Labels, patches, hang tags, hardware finish and packaging can carry your brand. See how this works on the branding and packaging page, or read what private label covers.
