Something new...

Every year we attend the British Craft Trade Fair in April (this will be our fifth) and every time many of our existing and potentially new stockists ask us what new products we have this year; well, this year it's square badges.

We decided to introduce them as they give the girls (just) a little more surface space to create more of a composition for the applied image. The design range isn't as comprehensive as the button brooches (yet), but we thought that we have enough to let our customers know about and add them to the Sumptuosity web store, so here you go, enjoy perusing...
