The history of the brooch - ‘Soïzic’

This ‘Soïzic’ brooch is an artisanal piece of jewelry that I created in my Briochin workshop.

It is hand embroidered with chain stitch on felt. As traditionally in Bigoudène embroidery in Brittany, I used pearl silk, a delicate and shiny silk. I took care of the finishing touches myself, with a brooch attachment gilded with fine gold and a circle of vegetable leather on which the acronym of the ‘Imaginary Friends’ is engraved.

Made in small series and to order, this jewel freely inspired by the traditional motifs of Bigoudène embroidery represents a peacock feather, a symbol of pride. You are free to see many other interpretations.

This is the emblematic motif of Imaginary Friends.

This jewel anchored in tradition will accompany you to ensure a 100% Breton and modern look!
