It may be one of Britain’s most common butterflies, but there is nothing run-of-the-mill about the striking appearance of the Tortoiseshell butterfly – and that has been artistically interpreted in this fabulous brooch. In bright orange and yellow with black markings and a lace-effect edging to the wings, this embroidered and hand-painted brooch (or hairclip) is one of Vikki’s British butterfly collection.

Made from faux suede and cotton organdie this beautiful butterfly makes a fashion statement when worn pinned to your dress, jacket or jumper. Everyone will want to know where you got it from! It looks equally stylish on a hat or scarf or worn as a hairclip. You could also use the Tortoiseshell and your imagination to embellish curtains, cushions, lampshades and so on.
