"Cloth clip" covers a surprising range of products. Here is the full family, what each type is best at, and what it is called in different markets.
Standard plastic clothes peg
The everyday peg — two PP arms, a spring, a clamping jaw. Called a cloth peg in India and the UK, a clothespin in the US, and a laundry peg in some markets. This is the volume product. See Misha Gold and Sinco Super.
Flat cloth clip
A slimmer, flatter profile than the rounded peg — stacks densely, popular in general trade. See Megha cloth clips.
Premium / textured hanging peg
A heavier peg with a textured grip surface and refined colourways, aimed at modern retail and quick commerce. See Misty and Sinco Elita.
Drying-stand peg
Shaped to grip the rods and wires of folding drying stands rather than a rope line. See Vinci.
Pipe / railing clip
An arched clip that locks over a pipe rail or balcony railing so washing stays put on a railing, not just a line. See Misha Platinum.
Stainless steel clip
All-metal, for heavy fabrics and coastal humidity where plastic and ordinary springs struggle. See steel clips.

Cloth peg or cloth clip — and in Hindi often "kapde ke clip". "Clothespin" is the American term for the same product.

A pipe or railing clip such as Misha Platinum, which locks over the railing pipe rather than relying on a flat line.
