Patent Information

Thank you so much for visiting our website, my name is Richard Gladwin, I am the principal member of African Butterfly trading CC. I specialise in manufacturing and exporting innovative hair clips. All our clips are unique that almost all are different, and special in the way, that we offer a one year guarantee on our clips. These clips are so designed that any woman, can tie up her hair elagantly, quickly, and in many different styles, as her moods change, or hair length differs, or to suit her hair color, or clothing match of 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 many more.

We pride ourselves in being a leading manufacturer of extreemly 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 at present support at least 120 people whom rely on you individuals and companies whom are continiously purchasing our product. A big thank you to you all whom have supported us all this time.

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, stockkeepers, 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 posession of a genuine product, and thus, risk the possibility of having the police entering and raiding your premises, and confiscating your product.
