A hand-painted claw hair clip in the form of a Luna Moth — the pale green, ghostly moth of North American forests, with its long swallowtails and dust-soft wings. Solar Eclipse's artists paint each clip individually, both sides, so the moth reads the same whether your hair is up in a twist, a bun, or a loose half-back. Not printed. Not stamped. Painted by hand, in small batches, in New York.
Made from biodegradable cellulose acetate — crafted from recycled wood pulp — with an extra-strong hinge that holds thick or fine hair for a full day without slipping. Designed in New York City by an all-female team, protected by international copyright. Charming, functional, and unlike anything else in the drawer.
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Hand-painted, both sides: each clip is individually painted by Solar Eclipse's artists — front and back — so the moth looks correct from every angle. Small variations between pieces are part of the process.
- Original copyrighted design: an in-house illustration by the Solar Eclipse team, protected by international copyright — you won't find this moth elsewhere.
- Biodegradable cellulose acetate: made from recycled wood pulp, a plant-based material that breaks down in the earth rather than sitting in a landfill for centuries.
- Extra-strong hinge: engineered to hold thick, thin, curly, or fine hair through a full day without slipping.
- Designed in New York by an all-female team: small-batch production, considered from concept to finish.
- 100% recyclable and plastic-free packaging.

THE BRAND
Solar Eclipse is a New York City-based hair accessories brand designed by an all-female team, quietly building a devoted following on the strength of one thing: hand-painted claw clips that treat the everyday hair accessory as an object worth attention. Every clip is designed in New York, hand-painted in small batches, and made from biodegradable cellulose acetate — a plant-based alternative to petroleum plastic. The designs are original, copyrighted, and often centered on natural imagery: moths, monarchs, birds, flowers. Beloved by anyone who wants to put their hair up without pretending they don't care what it looks like.
