03 Rank & Sugar Collaboration Brooch

A little joy. A little sparkle. A very good use of our scraps.

Created with Suzanne of Rank and  Sugar, this collaboration brings her playful rosette brooches into Sapana’s world of repurposed textiles. Suzanne’s original hand-crocheted designs inspired a new interpretation, made with remnants of our beloved kanthas.

Our artisans hand-punched each smiley face, giving it a wonderfully plush texture, then framed it with rhinestones, carefully applied, tacked down, and finished with hand beading. Gathered kantha and trailing fabric ribbons bring together the color, pattern, and tiny running stitches that make these textiles so special.

There’s a lovely exchange in this piece: Suzanne’s unmistakable sense of play, our love of finding possibility in what’s left over, and the patient handwork that brings an idea to life.

Pin it to a coat, a sweater, or the bag you carry everywhere. A small celebration of making things together, with a face that suggests we enjoyed ourselves.
