This Bow & Brooch™ piece begins with a vintage Carrot & Gibbs 100% silk bowtie—handmade in Boulder, Colorado and known for its rich color saturation and impeccable construction. The geometric print becomes an elegant stage for a curated ensemble of vintage brooches sourced from local dealers.
The brooches themselves form a sculptural dialogue: the radiant starburst with its textured rays, the ribbon motifs shaped in fluid gold, and the delicate rose. Each piece was chosen for the way it interacts with the silk—how the metal contrasts the pattern, how the shapes create visual rhythm, how the texture brings depth to the composition.
Together, the silk and the brooches create a collected expression—heritage jewelry reframed through modern design. A statement of quiet luxury that feels both unexpected and timeless.
