What a magnetic brooch will hold

The magnet sits on either side of the cloth, which suits fine knitwear, a shirt collar or a coat lapel. Anything thick or padded is where the pin still wins, because it goes straight through. On loose weaves, place the brooch where a seam or a facing gives the fabric a little support.

Coats, knitwear and lighter tops

A lapel, the top of a pocket and a scarf knot all take a brooch well. On a fine jumper, a smaller piece keeps the knit flat; on a wool coat, a wider one reads better from a distance.

Bags, hats and collars

Felt hats, canvas bags and denim jackets hold the heavier designs well. Check the measurements given on the product page so the piece suits the surface you have in mind.

Motifs across our brooches

Flowers and hearts each have a section of their own, so start with the daisies, bouquets and abstract flower shapes or the ones built around a heart.

Looking after fashion brooches

Take the brooch off before the garment goes in the wash. Dust comes away with a soft dry cloth. Keep the two magnet halves together when you put it away, and store the piece apart from other jewellery so the enamel and the stones stay unmarked.
