Bow & Brooch™

Bow & Brooch™ began with a box of heirlooms and the desire to wear memory in a modern way.
Every piece honors the past while inviting a new chapter—turning family treasures, vintage finds, and curated brooches into fresh expressions of individuality. It’s jewelry with a heartbeat, worn close to the collar.

Learn about our latest pieces.

  • Each Bow & Brooch™ piece begins with a newly crafted bowtie base, designed in small batches using unique fabrics sourced for their structure, drape, and refinement. From crisp rep stripes and textured jacquards to soft velvets and tailored silks, every bow is selected to complement the art of adornment.

    We pair these handcrafted bow bases with a curated collection of vintage and new brooches—sourced from estate markets, private collections and other sources. No two brooches are ever the same, and every combination is assembled with an eye for balance, history, and understated elegance.

    The result: a one-of-a-kind accessory that blends modern design with storied materials.

  • Bow & Brooch™ is crafted slowly and intentionally.
    We release only seasonal capsule drops, each available in extremely limited quantities. Once a capsule sells out, its designs are archived and will not be recreated.

    This protects the rarity of every piece and ensures each collector receives a wearable artwork that will never be duplicated.

    To receive early access, join the Collector’s Waitlist—our drops often sell out before becoming public.

  • Processing Time: 5–7 business days
    Each bow is inspected, finished, packaged, and prepared for shipment.

  • We offer a limited number of bespoke pieces each season through our Heirloom Integration Service.

    If you have vintage family brooches you’d like transformed into a Bow & Brooch™ piece, we’d be honored to create a custom design that thoughtfully protects and showcases them.

    Custom options include:

    • Choosing from our curated bow fabrics

    • Designing around your heirloom brooches

    • Personalized length, drape, or color

    Bespoke pieces typically require 2–4 weeks depending on complexity.
    To inquire, please email or submit a custom request form with photos of your brooch(es).

About our Founder, Melissa

Melissa has always believed that style is a conversation—one shaped by heritage, intuition, and the small details that speak louder than trends. Bow & Brooch™ began the moment she draped one of her great-grandmother’s brooches across a men’s bowtie and felt something click: legacy could be modern, and elegance could be quietly loud.

Reimagining those heirlooms on a tailored bowtie became an unexpected fusion of past and present. What was an experiment has evolved into a design language that has become her signature: architectural lines, layered textures, and heirloom elements reimagined for today. Melissa’s background in luxury experience design influences every detail—from the curated materials to the limited-edition capsules.

Bow & Brooch™ is more than an accessory. It’s an expression of identity. A nod to heritage. Melissa’s goal is simple—to create accessories that feel collected, curated, and deeply personal.
