A small clever fastening.
The Cotter Brooch began as a drawing of organic shapes stacked into an asymmetrical vertical composition. The result is a form that feels sculptural and considered, with a quiet three-dimensionality that catches the eye without demanding it. At 80 x 65mm it has real presence on the lapel, and the option to wear it on its side gives it a versatility that most brooches don't have.
In 22ct matt gold, Cotter is for the woman who wants warmth and sculptural presence without anything heavy. The matt finish keeps the stacked organic form feeling modern rather than decorative, and the gold tone lifts a navy blazer, a camel coat, or a simple white shirt with equal ease. Understated enough to wear every day. Considered enough to be noticed.
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
- Lightweight and comfortable on fabric: These brooches are designed to sit lightly, without tugging, dragging or pulling the garment out of shape.
- Easy to layer: Because they are so light, you can wear one brooch quietly or layer several together to build your own small composition.
- Handcrafted in Melbourne: Made by hand in the inSync studio, one piece at a time.
- Lifetime care: If anything ever goes wrong, Iris will repair or replace it.
- Award-winning design: inSync design has been selected for museum stores including the V&A, SFMoMA and the National Museum of Australia.
Cotter Brooch - 100% hypoallergenic stainless steel, 22ct gold plate
Cotter Brooch - 80 x 65mm (3.14 x 2.55 inch)
Wear with Pebble Earrings Large Frame - Stone, Splash Necklace - Raw Stainless Steel, and Reed Ring - Raw Stainless Steel for a collected look that feels considered from shoulder to hand.
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.
Will it pull on fabric?
These brooches are designed to sit lightly, even on finer fabrics. For silk or very delicate pieces, test placement first.
Will it feel too bold?
Pin it to a jacket, knit or scarf you already love. One brooch can make familiar clothes feel more expressive without feeling overdone.
Can I wear more than one?
Yes. Because they are so light, you can layer several brooches together and build your own small composition.
Where should I place it?
Try the shoulder of a jacket, the edge of a collar, a knit, a scarf or the centre of a simple neckline.

How to wear it
Place it high on a lapel, across a knit, or slightly off-centre on a jacket. One considered placement is usually stronger than adding more.
The compliment effect
Collectors often tell us their inSync pieces start conversations. It is the kind of recognition that comes from people who notice shape, colour and detail.
