Designed exclusively for us by the clever Kirsty of Tom Pigeon fame, this Flax Cell brooch takes inspiration from seed heads, cell structures and the life cycle of the Flax plant. Flax has been grown in Scotland for centuries and the country was once central to the world's linen trade.
Crafted in matte anodised aluminium, this pin brooch has a silver plated stick pin and protector. Created collaboratively between Tom Pigeon's metal workshop in the West of Scotland and their canal-side studio in Manchester, this exclusive piece is a thoughtful gift for lovers of design, jewellery and contemporary craft.
