ARTWORK ON BUTTON BROOCHES - fantastic for presents

ARTWORK ON BUTTON BROOCHES - fantastic for presents

This is seriously small craft.

We take the highest quality dupion silks (16 colours) and combine these with vintage fabrics (sourced from around the world) and drawing skill to create pure art applied to these immensely popular brooches.

A design for everyone; some forty designs to choose from (inspired by natural history, gardening and fashion) and a miriad of variations to create your own unique brooch. Mainly for the girls but there are a couple for the boys and the gardeners amongst you.

Keep checking the site regularly for new and seasonal designs such as Halloween and Christmas at the appropriate time of the year.

The brooches are 3cm in diameter and come on a Sumptuosity branded punched card, presentation boxes are available at a small additional charge.

Some brooch designs have a selection of regular colours and also have additional colours which can be chosen at a small extra charge.

N.B. Vintage fabric appliqués, due to the nature of sourcing and size of pieces, these will probably differ to the photographic images displayed.
