One brooch,
many lives.
A House of Saya piece is designed to move. Here are six places to wear it. Then break the rules.
Lapel
The classic. A blazer lapel or a bandhgala takes a brooch without a second thought. Pin from the back so the face of the piece sits clean against the fabric.
Hair
Smaller, lighter pieces suit the hair best, pinned into a bun or a braid.
Scarf
Wool scarves take a pin easily. On silk, pin through a fold, not a single layer.
Bag
A leather strap is an easy home for a piece. The roll clasp locks shut, so it will not open on the move.
Collar
A structured collar takes a pin without a second thought.
Sari pleat
Go through the pleat where the pallu meets the shoulder. Two layers, always. Pin from the back so the face of the brooch sits clean against the fabric.
Pick the fabric.
Pins without thinking. The 18mm pin passes through wool and stiff collars easily.

Every pin-back brooch ships with a brass-tipped roll clasp. The pin rotates 180° and locks into a hook. More secure than a C-catch, less fuss than a locking pin.
