Where Are Your Hair Accessories Made?
Ethics and Sustainability Meet Exquisite Craftsmanship in Slow Fashion
The question of what makes a sustainable and ethical manufacturing process has been on the lips of consumers for years. During the Covid-19 pandemic, however, we’ve all become more attuned to what goes into the products we buy and consume or wear, and to how these items are brought into the world.

In this article, you’ll find out why you need to check the traceability of your hair accessories and how buying ethically can help you, the craftspeople creating them as well as the planet.
Over reliance on quick clicks to have any item we desire delivered to our doorstep may have taken us too far down the shopping rabbit hole. It’s encouraging many brands to choose cheaper manufacturing methods and materials. It's also driving a 'no-win' race to the bottom on producing more, at cheaper costs and encouraging practices like modern slavery from manufacturers looking to maximise their profits.

HANDMADE IN CANADA
While many of our textiles have their origins in Europe, we are supplied through our Canadian based textile partners.
Following our fabric selections, our hair accessories are sewn here in Canada by our team of gifted artisans. This way, we create employment opportunities for our local tailors and seamstresses, which helps sustain our local economy. Plus, we take an enormous amount of pride in this handmade pathway. With every stitch and seam, our sewers imbue a special degree of patience and artistry into our creations. We love that each individual Chelsea King hair accessory is crafted on a foundation of passion and honesty.
By operating locally, we can work as a team to oversee every detail, from the graceful stitching to the meticulous finishes— all of the thoughtful little details, including our special blend proprietary elastics for which Chelsea King is known.
MADE IN FRANCE
We intentionally held back and did our research, not desiring to jump hastily into the hair claw and clip category. Like every product we introduce, we endeavour to do so, focusing first and foremost on ethical production of the highest quality. Its always been about delivering the best products at fair value based on fair wage practices for our workers and artisans, ethical production efforts and the materials necessary to deliver an unmatched product experience.
Through our line of hair accessories made in France, we’re choosing ethical, superior-quality manufacturing over the cheapest option. These Chelsea King hair accessories produced by highly-trained specialists that work in optimal conditions at the foot of the French Alps bring an extra level of sophistication to your outfits. At the same time, our hair claws, clips, and combs benefit from the experience of over 50 years of artisanal know-how, featuring unique designs and high-quality and internationally patented mechanisms that care for your hair and look fantastic.
Investing in these durable pieces produced in France with generational craftsmanship and care for the environment and the people who make them is a long-term style decision you won’t regret.
Why should you know where your hair accessories are made? What's there to gain from switching towards slow fashion, ethically focused, high-quality production methods that deliver a product quite unlike it's standardized counterparts?

The term 'slow fashion' represents a vision that many environmentally and ethically conscious manufacturers are turning towards. Now, more so than ever, in response to a growing awareness around incredibly negative production practices taking place in various parts of the world.
Being an informed shopper and consumer of hair accessories carries multiple benefits, from having the reassurance of using products that are created ethically to enjoying a unique, handcrafted item that’s both functional and beautiful. In this article, you’ll find out why you need to check the traceability of your hair accessories and how buying ethically can help you, the craftspeople creating them and the planet.

What are some signs that your hair accessories are made with an ethical, sustainable mindset and in great working conditions that can make you feel good about looking good in your latest purchase?
Here are a few reasons to look deeper into where your hair accessories are made:
Human impact - Brands that claim to be ethical in their production must be able to justify humane working conditions and equitable hiring practices. Most importantly, manufacturing in a poor country (or any country) has to be balanced with paying a decent wage and not just taking a shortcut to cheap labour.
Sustainability - The impact of fast fashion on the environment cannot be underestimated. Choosing to support companies who are persuing natural or reusable raw materials and investing in sustainable practices is essential to ensuring that the items you wear aren’t damaging the planet.
Quality and uniqueness. Looking at the short-term personal impact, choosing ethically produced items ensures that the handcrafting quality is net superior to mass produced ones, and that they are one-of-a-kind. These manufacturers are able to closely monitor the production process and ensure the highest quality of everything they sell, unlike the mass produced scenario.
Slow fashion, in contrast, aims to reverse the trend towards cheap, poor-quality, excessive consumption. There’s no set definition, but we can think of it as an environmentally sensitive way to produce clothes and accessories, from sustainable materials and with ethical practices that protect those working in the industry. This means the slow fashion products you buy are durable, of a higher quality equating to less diposability, created by fairly paid workers and produced with a mindset to be kinder to the planet.
In a world where the bottom line drives many negative manufacturing decisions and contibutes to a damaging race to the bottom to deliver the 'cheapset' prices - choosing products based on the ethics of their manufacturers is an obvious choice. In return, you’ll be rewarded with high quality, durability and a stylish long-term fashion investment.
