On a Hat - The Classic Country Statement
There’s nothing quite like a feather pin tucked into the band of a waxed, felt, or tweed hat.
Perfect for:
- Race days
- Shooting events
- Country walks or rural weddings
Style Tip: Pair with a neutral or olive-toned hat in autumn and add one of our pheasant or woodcock pins for a bold, seasonal look.
On a Lapel - Timeless & Elegant
Brooches on lapels never go out of fashion. Add a feather piece to a wool coat or tweed blazer for an instant lift.
Ideal for:
- Outdoor weddings
- Heritage events
- Gift-giving
Style Tip: Choose a piece with colours that complement your tartan or tweed. We can even custom-make designs to match your outfit!
Bridal & Bridesmaid Bouquets
More and more brides are choosing rustic, countryside themes - and our feather accessories add the perfect finishing touch.
Beautiful ideas include:
- Adding a brooch to bouquet ribbon
- Coordinated pins for bridesmaids or groomsmen
- Personalised pins to match the couple’s colours or tartan.
Style Tip: Add a soft touch of ivory or peacock feather for an elegant wedding finish.
On a Bag or Satchel - Country Chic
For something a little different, add a feather pin to your handbag, tote, or field satchel. It’s an easy way to wear a piece of the countryside every day.
Perfect for:
- Everyday wear
- Gifting
- Festival and event styling
Style Tip: Try a small brooch on a crossbody leather bag for a subtle statement.
Scarf or Shawl Accent
Wrap up and stand out by clipping a brooch or pin to your scarf or shawl. It’s practical too - keeps things in place on breezy days!
Perfect for:
- Autumn and winter styling
