Product Insights
The Large Monarch Clip is a decorative plastic butterfly clip priced at $15, offering a moisture-resistant design at 25% less than handmade alternatives, but its 4 cm size limits hold to a small section, making it a style-focused accessory rather than a functional hair tool.
Verified claims
- Holding capacity
- The 4 cm overall silhouette corresponds to a smaller jaw opening that holds only a small hair section.
- Hold
- The 4 cm length is the overall size, not the opening width, so this clip is decorative and will hold only a small section of hair.
- Weather resistance
- Plastic body resists moisture; suitable for rain or humid storage.
- Price parity
- Butterfly motif adds no cost; priced same as half‑moon clip.
- Price vs artisanal
- At $15 CAD, the clip costs roughly 25% less than handmade laser-cut pearlized paper monarch clips from indie labels.
- Brand pricing
- Same price as Simons' half-moon clip; per-cm cost is 4x the functional large clip.
- Moisture resistance
- Plastic clip survives rain and steamy bathrooms without damage.
- Per-centimetre value
- Per centimetre, it costs four times as much as Simons' 13 cm functional clip.
- Pricing parity
- Butterfly clip at $15 carries no price upcharge over Simons' basic geometric clip.
- Gift appeal
- Multiple buyers gave this clip as a gift, including to a friend who educates people about monarchs, and report it was well received.
- Quality consistency
- Buyer feedback on quality is mixed: one buyer describes the clip as beautiful quality, while another found it poorer quality than other decorative clips for the price.
- Higher-priced butterfly comparison
- One buyer saw a similar butterfly clip priced around $80 at Fairmont Whistler and says this one is just as nice, pretty, and functional.

A butterfly accent clip for styled-up hair
Wear this butterfly-shaped claw clip as a decorative accent in your hair or to finish an outfit.
