Product Insights
Le 31, Simons' private-label brand founded in 1840 and designed in Canada, offers the Expressive Embroidered Brooch as a lightweight accessory with individually stitched metallic thread and bead embroidery, allowing for repairability and a vintage patina over time. Its construction reduces strain on fabric and clasp, but requires care: avoid water, dust only, store in a dry dark place, and add a felt pad behind the clasp to prevent scratching. The brooch's grace lies in its durable, re-securable beads and thread that develop a pearlescent sheen, balancing heirloom craftsmanship with mindful upkeep.

| Expressive Embroidered Brooch: Choose this if you want a statement accessory with an embroidered, beaded owl design: the fabric is embroidered with metallic thread and densely covered in short tubular beads arranged in parallel rows and concentric patterns around the eyes, giving a raised, tactile finish. It fastens with a post and hook closure plus a gold-toned safety-pin style clasp on the back, and comes in one size. As an exclusive designed in Canada for Le 31 by Simons, it suits shoppers who like playful, figure-shaped brooches rather than plain metal pins.[1,2,3] | Embroidered Animal Brooch: Choose this if you want a playful, hand-embellished accessory: an exclusive Le 31 design by Simons, made in Canada, shaped as a flat embroidered turtle with gold and green beadwork, concentric circular shell motifs, and gold tubular bead detailing on the head, limbs, and tail. It is crafted from fabric, thread, metallic yarn, beads, and metal, mounted on a soft black fabric backing with a defined beaded edge, and fastens with a post and hook closure plus a gold metal pin and clasp. It comes in one size, so it works as a single statement piece rather than an adjustable fit.[4,5,6] | Decorative Embroidered Brooch: Choose this if you want a statement embroidered accessory: it is a round, sun-shaped brooch densely worked in gold-tone tube and seed beads, with a face motif on the central disc, metallic threads, embroidered faux stones, and a post and hook closure on a soft black fabric backing. It suits shoppers drawn to tactile, hand-finished detail—it is an exclusive Le 31 by Simons design made in Canada—offered in one size in White and Golden Yellow. Note that the stones are faux rather than genuine, and its layered beadwork has a textured surface where small gaps can show the backing.[7,8] |
