Product Insights
Le 31's Expressive Embroidered Brooch offers detailed beadwork at a sale price of $19.99, matching simpler $19 flower pins but with more embellishment. Its post-and-hook closure fits thick fabrics and is repairable by any jeweler; the C-catch can be anchored for security, but traditional anchoring is needed for seated wear. The brooch requires dry wiping and soft pouch storage to protect its embroidery and beads, and performs best on medium-weight fabrics like wool and denim, not on silks or loose knits.

| Expressive Embroidered Brooch: Choose this if you want a small, decorative lapel or jacket pin with a playful fish motif: Le 31 designed this brooch in Canada, and it features fabric embroidered with metallic thread, dense red-to-pink beadwork outlined in gold seed beads, a turquoise bead for the eye, and a post and hook closure. It comes in one size in the Ruby/Vermilion colorway, so it suits shoppers looking for a single, statement accent piece in that red-and-pink palette. Note that the listing offers only this one size and color, and no specific measurements are provided.[1,2,3] | Embroidered Animal Brooch: Choose this for a small, decorative men's accessory: an elephant-shaped brooch covered in densely sewn gold-tone tubular and seed beads with a raised, ribbed texture, set on a black fabric backing and finished with a safety-pin style post-and-hook closure. It suits anyone who wants a playful animal motif with metallic detailing, and the Golden Yellow colourway comes in one size. Note it is a soft fabric-and-bead piece rather than hard enamel or metal, per its listed composition of fabric, thread, metallic yarn, beads, and metal.[4,5,6,7] | Shimmery Constellation Brooch: Choose this if you want a silver-toned statement lapel accent made of overlapping five-pointed stars, each outlined in metal and densely set with small faceted imitation crystals that create a textured, sparkly surface. It measures 2.75 inches (7 cm) wide, comes in one size, and fastens with a metallic bar and lock-hook closure. Note that the gemstones are faux (fake crystals and metal per the listing), and faint tool marks and small irregularities are visible on the flat back surfaces of the stars.[8,9,10] |
