Crochet Corsages





Jazz up your jacket, your coat, your cardi, your hat, your scarf, it's up to you, with a hand crocheted corsage. All are made from premium yarns. They each have interesting details at their centres, the majority of which are vintage and have been found on my jaunts round the English countryside.

Each corsage has a metal swivel-closure brooch pin on the back. Dimensions vary, please see individual corsage for details. Some yarns are specifically dry clean only, which is noted in the details for that individual corsage, but in any instance, I would only recommend gentle warm hand washing should you need to wash your corsage.

Priced at £12 each.

P&P:

UK (inland) = Included
Europe = £1.25
Rest of the World = £1.75

(Good postage discounts available for multiple purchases of any items.)
