Always bought these clips before, but now they are very difficult to open and doesn't feel like it will last.

...but not for me - my hair is far too short and fine for such a large clip should have bought smaller neater one to suit my hair. My mistake, now know better! But - very very few tortoishell small ones...how about some for us with fine hair pleas!

A little disappointing compared to the same thing that I have purchased before from John Lewis. The colour was not as good and the working bit is a little stiff.

Not the best I have had, I prefer Denman's brand which was out of stock.

Not the same good quality as the previous ones you used to stock.
