Something got lost along the way with brooches and we think it wasn’t their fault. Filed under costume jewellery then vintage then granny, an entire generation of women stopped picking them up. This is legitimately sad because a brooch can do what no other accessory can. Make an ordinary coat seem considered. Elevate your lapel without you having to change a thing you’re wearing. Now we are seeing brooches making a comeback, the right way. Not as cute little vintage novelties but as part of how women are actually dressing today. At the collar of a blazer. Clusters on a crossbody. Affixing a silk scarf at the shoulderblade. There are more styling options than a lot of people realise and that’s partly why we wanted to put together a collection like this rather than chucking a few left and right at a wall to see what sticks. Here you will find brooches that we chose because they feel wearable as much as they look good. Enamel pieces that have some wit to spark conversation withouttrying too hard. Gold and silver shapes that feel expensive because they’re well made, not because they’re covered in diamonds. Flowers. Abstract blobs. Animals and objects occassionally, but styled with enough reserve that you still feel like an adult wearing them. We even paid attention to scale because if your brooch disappears on your jacket you aren’t getting much bang for your buck. These aren’t costume pieces. They’re for that camel coat you’ve had for three winters and want to autumn in love with again. That black dress that needs one thing to make it sing. For you, who are bored of earrings being the only jewellery that’s worth considering. Brooches worn intentionally are some of the most personal jewellery you can wear. They stay exactly where you put them. They face out. And they make a statement before you even open your mouth. That’s power you can fit in the palm of your hand.
