Scarlet Leafwing Butterfly Brooch Pin
Regular price
$94.00
Trovelore is a treasure trove of exquisite hand embroidery techniques from many cultures and generations. Their brooch pins are handmade and have been made with integrity and kindness.
The scarlet Leafwing is a master of duality. While its upperside flashes a brilliant fiery orange its underside is a perfect botanical mimic, complete with fake veins and fungal spots. Remarkably these butterflies avoid flowers; they thrive by sipping fermented fruit and tree sap using their dead leaf disguise to vanish against the forest floor.
Slight variation in embroidery, size, shape and color is part of the handmade craft and may be apparent between pieces; this is not considered a defect but is celebrated as a mark of made by hand.
Size: 5.5 cm l x 5 cm w, 2.3" l x 2" w
Material: Cotton, Felt, Metal, Sequins & Beads; Hand embroidered
Handmade in India.
Produced in Small Batches.

WE'RE ON A MISSION...
Real Beekeepers. Real Honey. Taste The Difference.
My beekeeping journey began over 12 years ago with my oldest daughter begging for a dog, which led us to getting baby chickens instead, then honey bees were added to our urban backyard farm and the rest is history. We're urban NYC beekeepers with a mission to help save the bees and other pollinators by donating to organizations that help save the bees and establish local pollinator gardens. Bees have been declining at an alarming rate which can impact the global food supply as bees are essential in pollination. Our honey is pure and raw and sourced from either our own local hives or small apiaries, like us, from around the country. We believe in sustainable beekeeping, supporting small local beekeepers who in turn work with small local family farms to help pollinate their crops and bring you real, delicious honey.
