STYLING

Pin it to a white linen shirt in spring where the emerald and navy create a rich colour accent, wear it on a navy blazer in summer for a tonal, considered look, or fasten it to a camel wool coat lapel in autumn where the deep greens and blues feel entirely at home. It works beautifully on a wide-brimmed felt hat, a silk scarf, or layered with other vintage animal brooches on a winter coat — the owl is small but always commands attention.
