The embroidery designs for our brooches are exclusively imagined and created by the M&L designers. Each piece is entirely hand-embroidered using **cannetille** wire, following a centuries-old Indo-Pakistani embroidery technique. That is why, in 2009, we recruited our artisans in Pakistan, where we established our own embroidery workshop.

Our brooches are delicate. Avoid friction and contact with water. To keep them looking their best for years to come, store them carefully in their beautiful presentation box.
