Designed exclusively for V&A Dundee by the clever Kirsty Thomas of Tom Pigeon, this Flax Bloom 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.
A thoughtful gift for lovers of contemporary jewellery, design and craft.
