African Butterfly

Thank you so much for visiting our website, my name is Richard Gladwin, I am the principal member of African Butterfly Trading CC. Here in South Africa we specialize in manufacturing and exporting innovative hair clips. Our clips are unique in that being hand made they are all very different. They are so durable that they come with a one year guarantee. These clips are very functional as well as comfortable and are designed so that any woman can tie up her hair elegantly, quickly, and in many different styles; as her moods change, her hair length differs, to suit her hair color or to co-ordinate with clothing for the day. Really, this clip ties up your hair in as many different ways as you have limits to your imagination.

We are doing business in America, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Europe, South Africa, Namibia, and other countries are coming on line in the near future.

We pride ourselves in being a leading manufacturer of extremely high quality ladies hairclips, working on the very cutting edge of new bead designs all the time.

Additionally, every time you purchase an African Butterfly product, you are helping to alleviate unemployment and poverty in South Africa. From a very small beginning 5 years ago, with only 2 clip weavers, you now presently support at least 120 people who rely on you individuals and companies to continuously purchasing our product. A big ‘thank you’ to all, who have supported us during this time of enormous growth!

A word of warning to possible copycats:
We have a number of patents registered, one of which is: PZTZA 2004/000068, as well as registered designs for the shape of the layout of the beads fitted to the back of the clip. As the ONLY registered patent holders of these designs, worldwide, we would like to take this opportunity to warn all possible manufacturers, wholesalers, store-keepers, and potential buyers of clips similar to the clips pictured in this website, to look out for the patent numbers on the back of the clip you may be purchasing. In the event that your clip has no patent numbers on the back, and looks similar to the "African Butterfly", as pictured in this website, you are possibly opening yourself to civil prosecution, as you will not be in possession of a genuine product, and thus, risk the possibility of having the police entering and raiding your premises, resulting in your product being confiscated.

Any queries regarding the patents can be forwarded to Richard Gladwin, e mail: info@africanbutterfly.biz
