This figural brooch shows a stylised Parisian girl in a black dress with raised silver studs, a black-and-white striped Breton top, red glasses, a striped bow on her high bun and a checked handbag. Cut from a single piece of silver-tone metal with enamel detailing, it fastens with a hidden two-disc magnet rather than a pin, so it sits on a wool coat or a silk blouse without leaving a single hole. A French chic accent for a lapel, a scarf or a tote bag.
This brooch is a hand-detailed silhouette of a Parisian woman, the kind you would see walking past the Café de Flore: black high bun with a striped bow on top, red round glasses, classic Breton-stripe top, swing dress in black with raised silver studs, and a checked handbag in her hand. The whole piece is cut from a single panel of silver-tone metal, then finished in selective enamel for the colour blocks. The hidden magnet replaces the pin entirely, so the figurine sits cleanly on a coat lapel, a knit jumper or a silk scarf without a pinhole left behind.
Figural brooches sometimes read as costume jewellery, but this one keeps the storytelling restrained: silver-tone metal stays neutral, the Breton stripe is universally read as French, and the size sits between a small lapel pin and a statement piece. The magnetic fastening matters even more here: the figurine is detailed enough that punching a pin through expensive fabric is hard to justify. Two strong rare-earth magnets keep the piece in place on wool coats and structured blazers, and stay gentle enough for a silk blouse or a Lurex knit. See our full range of no-pin magnetic brooches if you want the same fastening system on other motifs.
On a black wool coat, the silver tone and the Breton stripe read as a single graphic statement. On a chambray shirt or a denim jacket she picks up a casual French chic mood. On a tote bag she works as a strap accent, particularly on canvas or leather totes that benefit from a visual focal point. For coordinated styling, look at our wider female figurine brooches selection to layer two characters together for a small lapel scene.
Body in silver-tone metal with selective enamel detailing for the bow, the glasses, the bag and the stripes. The studs on the dress are real raised metal dots, not painted spots, so they keep the 3D effect even after long wear. The brooch ships in two parts: the decorative figurine and a small openwork magnetic disc to place behind the fabric. Wipe the front with a dry microfibre cloth, store flat, and keep perfume sprays and pool water off the enamel to preserve the colour blocks over time.
