Description
A charming, hand-embroidered black cat brooch with red flowers tucked behind its ears, a bloom on its chest and bright green eyes with a steady, slightly amused look. Folk-art cheer with a touch of sparkle — a lovely gift for cat lovers, gardeners and anyone who likes a brooch with personality.
Made for outerwear: a trench, a loden or camel coat, a cream blazer or a denim jacket, where the red flowers read from across the room. On lighter blouses pin it at the collar, and watch it brighten a plain black sweater in a way a plain brooch never could.
The coat is a dense ground of black seed beads shot through with iridescent blue-violet ones, so the black has depth rather than flatness; the eyes, muzzle and whiskers are stitched in thread, the flowers are tiny red faceted beads, and a fine coiled French-wire trim outlines the whole figure. Everything is sewn on by hand, bead by bead, on a velvet-backed base with a pin on the reverse.
A garden cat for your coat.

🎁 Perfect for Gifting: A thoughtful gift for someone special — your brooch arrives in a gift box, ready to bring joy. Or keep it for yourself; you deserve it too.
🧵 Made by Hand: Every bead and stitch is placed individually, by hand, with needle and thread — slow, close work, and the reason no two pieces are ever exactly alike. You will receive the cat shown in the photos.
🌸 Care: Keep it dry — take it off before showering or swimming, and put it on only after perfume, hairspray and lotion have dried. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush — the faceted flowers should not rub against other jewelry; no water, no jewelry cleaner, no cleaning sprays. Store it flat, on its own, so the beadwork and trim don't rub against other pieces.
⚠️ Safety First: This brooch has a sharp pin and is decorated with small beads and parts. It is not a toy — keep it away from small children, and never let a child put the brooch or any of its parts in their mouth. Please fasten and unfasten the pin with care.
