2 “Batman” Style Black Hair Combs

Ref: RT-0808-001

These highly unusual hair combs date from the 1980s and were possibly inspired by either the Batman films or the Goth phenomenon. They give the effect of bat wings raised on high.

The combs were in fact made in the Far East for the European market and are back stamped TAIWAN. After languishing during the 1970s plastic jewellery again became popular in the 1980s and was made in a range of colours and styles.

Hair accessories in the 1980s were distinguished by their large size and lavish appearance.

Ref: RT-1008-010

This glitzy retro side comb comprises a generous cluster of massed faux pearls and faceted crystal beads. It is a typical product of the 1980s decade when American TV soap operas like Dynasty and Dallas led to a taste for showy rhinestone jewellery and hair accessories.
