Erstwilder - Pugs, Pugs, Pugs!

Every time I see my mother she tells me she has a present for me and lately they've been involving more and more pugs! She's clearly feeding my addiction and love for not only animals but, more specifically, pugs. She purchased this broach for me while in the Town & Country Gallery in Yarragon. The brand is named Erstwilder and until I received this present I'd never heard of them before but afterwards I decided to check them out!

Inside the box is a brief description of how each piece is crafted and how to care for the accessories to keep them in their best possible condition. Because each item is crafted and assembled by hand each piece is therefore individual, regardless of whether two are the same design or not. I appreciate anything that is handcrafted and I love things even more when they are because of the fact that no two are exactly the same. This brand is designed and crafted in Melbourne, Australia and is sold overseas in boutiques throughout the U.S, U.K, New Zealand and Japan.

As mentioned the piece I have is a broach. Not only can I wear it as one but I can also attach it to hair accessories and create a statement clip too. The pin is securely screwed into the ceramic and glass and is so sturdy. There's nothing worse than buying a nice broach and having a wobbling pin then trying to get it to sit right!

How amazing do the different textures and details look together?! I love the amount of detail in it, especially in the eyes!

After checking out their website and their recent collections available for purchase, I know I'm going to be getting more! They have some Disney themed jewellery currently (The Little Mermaid and Alice in Wonderland). As well as plenty of French Bulldogs and Pugs wearing top hats or monocles and I am a sucker for that. So far there's not one thing I don't like about this brand and I couldn't be happier with this broach. Thanks Mum!

I know a lot of my friends, their family and also mine would love these sorts of designs so below I will leave a list of online stockists and a link to their page with boutiques in Australia that stock them too.
