I had this very expensive clothespins ordered (the shop around the corner for 1.49 euros) in the expectation that they would be better handled as cheap. The opposite is true: Everywhere rough surfaces and splitter.
I can not send them back because the postage would cost as much as the clothes pegs. So I have to keep what is really annoying you at ease.
According to the package insert clips made of birch and in China are made.
