Antiques, reimagined

From the individually hand cut silk petals to the handsewn pearls and vintage 1950s French rhinestones, each Blue Brocade design is meticulously hand crafted. Most designs feature exquisite vintage jewelry, brooches and buttons. Vintage pearls, 1920s glass buttons, mid century rhinestones,  once hidden in antique shops across North America, they have been rediscovered and given a new life. These historic details from the past live on in each Blue Brocade accessory.

ONE OF A KIND

Blue Brocade pieces are limited editions or one of a kind, ensuring one’s style is never mass produced but embodies the hand crafted tradition of women’s hair adornments. Each accessory is designed and personally handmade by Jessa with the same meticulous care for quality as milliners and jewellers long past. Whether for a bride or bridesmaid, upswept hair by candlelight or to accent a French twist at the office, Blue Brocade designs offer beautiful vintage details for today.

Whether it is a bohemian floral crown inspired by late 19th century England, or a feather fascinator that brings The Great Gatsby to mind, bridal accessories from Blue Brocade introduce historical bridal elegance to those seeking something out of the ordinary, a true connection to the lives and love stories long past.
