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 raw stainless steel, Contra is for the woman who wants the form to speak entirely for itself. The brushed finish gives the interlocking shapes a cool, material quality that feels considered rather than decorative. It suits linen jackets, structured coats, and anything with a clean lapel where the design can be appreciated for exactly what it is.
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.
