Our cellulose acetate creations – hair clips, pocket mirrors, and earring embellishments – are expertly crafted in specialized workshops located in Eastern China.
Since 2019, we have trusted a key production partner, chosen for their ability to turn our designs into unique products.
While manufacturing in China can sometimes be a topic of debate, I chose these acetate specialists for their exceptional craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to quality.
More about this material
Joanna Behar accessories are crafted from cellulose acetate, a plant-based material.
Unlike most plastics, which are derived from petroleum, cellulose acetate is made from wood or cotton. This makes it a more eco-friendly option. Additionally, its versatility in color and texture offers endless creative possibilities, allowing me to bring my most imaginative designs to life.
Cellulose acetate hair clips are primarily made from plant pulp, wood pulp, or cotton fibers. This material is biodegradable under certain conditions and is generally less toxic than traditional plastics. Cellulose acetate hair clips have a low skin allergy rate, even with prolonged contact (except for certain colors). They are resistant to UV radiation and discoloration. Compared to other plastic hair clips, which are prone to breakage and fragility, cellulose acetate clips are stylish, durable, flexible, and strong, making them less likely to be damaged. This durability also contributes to their higher cost compared to other materials.
Earrings
Our acetate earrings are made with 3-micron gold-plated steel rings and hypoallergenic stainless steel posts.
