Lace, love letters and secret languages; our 2026 Valentine's Collection celebrates the language of love, the Victorian way.
Complex and coded, the Victorians were renowned for developing systems to express their sentiment, send secret messages and profess their enduring love with subtlety.
By moving their fans in various ways, Victorian ladies could give signals to their potential suitors at court. The signals could mean anything from ‘follow me’ to kiss me’ to ‘don’t forget me’. Our Flirtatious Fan brooch honours this long forgotten language of love.
Hand embroidered in contrasting red silks and pink bullions, our fan brooch features highlights of silver & blue along the tips, giving the impression of feathers - a trim often used on the most luxurious of fans. A central heart and red teardrop embellishment complete this darling design.
Perfect to be worn on its own, on a shirt collar or jacket lapel or be brave and embrace the maximalist ‘year of the brooch’ trend by wearing multiple pieces together!
