Vikki’s embroidered and hand-painted butterfly brooch is an artistic interpretation of the Kaiser-i-Hind butterfly and is one of the six butterflies in her ‘rare, endangered and threatened’ brooch collection.

The Kaiser-i-Hind brooch, crafted from faux suede and cotton organdie, is a statement piece that will add a splash of colour to your outfit, hat or scarf, or even pinned to a handbag. The variations are endless, and it would certainly provoke admiration when used to enhance your home décor, perhaps on cushions or curtains.

It is quite flexible and robust and some bending of the wings is natural during wear. The wings can easily be reshaped by hand, either by flattening or by squeezing the top wings together to enhance the three-dimensional look. To keep the brooch in good condition, avoid submerging in water and subjecting to high temperatures or prolonged periods of direct sunlight.
