A clip (10) is provided with: a first engagement catch (40) engaged with a body (90) when the clip (10) is regularly fitted to the body (90); and a second engagement catch (60) for preventing the separation of the clip (10) from the body (90) when the first engagement catch (40) is disengaged from the body (90). The second engagement catch (60) is provided further inward in the direction of insertion of the clip into a body engagement hole (92) than the first engagement catch (40). When the first engagement catch (40) comes off the body (90), an object (80) to be mounted lifts from a member therearound to an extent which is visually discernible, and therefore, a state in which the clip (10) is not regularly fitted cannot be overlooked. Even if the clip (10) is mounted to the body (90) in a non-fitted or partially fitted state, the second engagement catch (60) prevents the clip (10) from separating from the body (90).
