Hand-embroidered little French kiss brooch in glass beads, created in London, during lockdown, hand-crafted with dedication and love by Masters embroiderers, in Mumbai. "... Unfortunately, as things started to gather pace with the pandemic, India closed its borders that night. I flew back to London with a heavy heart, as we were going to be apart longer than I expected. Back in London, 8000 km apart from my love, along with the growing sadness and uncertainty of the Covid-19 crisis, I found comfort in embroidering these little kisses, like substitutes for the ones I so wished I could give. Week after week, as borders remained closed, I thought about all the millions of lost kisses around the world. And so, I made more and more of my own Bisous..." Materials: Glass beads Base fabrics 100% silk organza Backing 100% acetate felt and tag Golden pin Nickel, Lead and Cadmium free The Bisous are made with time, love and care using delicate materials such as glass beads. If you treat it like your most precious item, it will last a life time. Do not wash or iron. Keep away from fibrous materials to prevent the felt from pilling.
