The Contra Brooch is a hand-drawn stainless steel form with a mid-century sensibility. Negative and positive shapes interlock across the surface, creating a push-pull tension that makes the design feel alive without being busy. Clean, considered lines that sit with quiet authority on the lapel, and a resolved quality that makes it feel like it has always belonged in your wardrobe.
In black, Contra is for the woman who wants graphic precision. The matt black finish sharpens every interlocking edge, making the push-pull of the form feel more architectural and deliberate. It works on a white shirt where the contrast is immediate, or on a dark coat where it adds an unexpected focal point that rewards a second look.
This is for the woman who wants a quiet way to be seen. Pin it to a jacket, knit, shirt, or scarf, and the whole outfit feels more personal without becoming loud.
Why collectors keep coming back:
Easy-on pin fitting: smooth, strong and gentle on fine fabrics. Pins are all made as a continuous line from the drawing to the pin, and sit flush and super light on tailoring and soft on knitwear or light shirts without tearing or dragging.
Handcrafted in Melbourne: made by hand, one piece at a time.
Lifetime guarantee: if anything ever goes wrong, I'll fix or replace them.
Award-winning design: inSync design has been selected for museum stores including the V&A, SFMoMA, and the National Museum of Australia.

Wear your brooch on a jacket, coat, knit, scarf or dress. It can sit high near the shoulder, low on a lapel, or at the centre of a simple neckline.
For delicate fabrics, test placement first or wear it through a slightly stronger layer.
A brooch is a beautiful way to flirt with boldness because you can move it, restyle it and make it your own.
