“Beauty has always been part of my world,” LUAR founder Raul Lopez tells ESSENCE. Earlier this year, the designer collaborated with MAC, his longterm makeup sponsor, on a limited edition makeup bag morphed out of his brand’s signature Ana Bag. And, just a couple months ago, a belt bag reminiscent of the one he used to wear as a makeup artist at MAC’s Herald Square Macy’s counter over 20 years ago.
Now, in the brand’s first foray into hair products, he’s collaborating with TRESemmé to turn the LUAR Ana Bag into this season’s favorite hair accessory: a claw clip. “When I’m creating a collection, hair and makeup aren’t a last-minute add-on—they’re actually a big part of the narrative,” he says, having worked with TRESemmé for New York Fashion Week’s past three seasons. From pinning swan-like feathers into models’s hair to updos shaped like cocktaiel crests, “they help bring that world to life in a way that feels authentic and accessible.”
Priced at just $25 dollars, the claw clip is a way to have a new designer bag (and TRESemmé Dry Texturizing Spray) without the expensive price tag. “The clip really started with the Ana Bag—the silhouette, the structure, the nostalgia,” he says. “The bag was inspired by my mom and my grandmothers, both named Ana, and all the women in my family who immigrated from the Dominican Republic and worked in factories.”

While Lopez predicts messy buns and updos will have a moment going into 2026, TRESemmé hairstylist Lacy Redway says the claw-clip-centric >hybrid sew-ins (a look Redway has been wearing for over 20 years) trending this season, claw clips are looking up to be this season’s favorite low-effort hair accessory. “For the holidays especially, claw clips are the perfect accessory because we’re all looking for something that feels elevated but effortless,” Redway says. From family dinners to hosting prep, and even prioritizing rest, you can feel put together even when you’re busy at home.
