Trovelore Long Eared Bat Brooch Pin | Hand-Embroidered Wearable Art

**PREORDER DECEMBER 26** Expected to be able to deliver before Christmas!

Not every piece in a collection has to be soft. Some are meant to have a little bite.

The Long Eared Bat is Trovelore's most striking silhouette, an elongated creature stitched entirely by hand from cotton, felt, sequins, and beads in a women-run embroidery studio in India. The shape alone sets it apart, a full 3.2 inches of elongated form that catches the eye before the detail does. Look closer and the hand embroidery reveals itself, dimensional texture and a subtle shimmer built into every wing and ear, the kind of handwork that takes hours to finish and can never be replicated by a machine.

That craftsmanship is what turns a brooch into a keepsake rather than a passing accessory. Because every piece is produced in small artisan batches, no two Long Eared Bat brooches ever turn out quite the same, a quiet imperfection that collectors and museum curators alike point to when they call Trovelore pieces miniature works of art rather than costume jewelry. This one in particular tends to draw the collector crowd, the shopper who wants a brooch with an edge, something moody and architectural to anchor a growing collection or hand down to someone who will appreciate its strangeness as much as they do.

At The Periwinkle Shoppe, we carry a curated selection of Trovelore brooches, and this one is a favorite among customers building an intentional, artistic jewelry box rather than reaching for disposable trend pieces. It is currently available for preorder, with delivery expected in December, and arrives finished with a secure metal pin backing, ready to wear the day it ships.

Styling Tips:

Pin it to a denim jacket or structured blazer for an edgy, curated look
Add it to a dark sweater or coat for a moody, tonal aesthetic
Style it on a tote or crossbody bag for a subtle statement
Let it stand alone, or pair it with minimal pieces to keep the focus on the bat

Fit & Size:
Approx. 3.2" (L) x 1.5" (W), approx. 8 cm x 3 cm. Lightweight despite its elongated silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is the Trovelore Long Eared Bat brooch handmade?
Yes. It is hand embroidered in a women-run studio in India using cotton, felt, sequins, and beads, and produced in small artisan batches, so every piece is slightly one of a kind.

Is this brooch considered an heirloom piece?
Many collectors treat it that way. Because it is hand-embroidered with natural materials in limited batches, it holds up well over decades and appeals to shoppers who want a distinctive piece to pass down rather than a seasonal trend item.

Is this brooch bold or subtle?
It leans bold in design, with a striking elongated bat silhouette, but stays wearable thanks to its lightweight construction.

Is it heavy because of its size?
No. Despite its 3.2 inch length, the brooch is designed to be lightweight and comfortable for daily wear.

How do I care for this brooch to keep it for years?
Spot clean gently if needed, store it flat or in a jewelry pouch, and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Handled this way, most Trovelore pieces hold their color and shape for decades.

Will each brooch look exactly the same?
No, and that is intentional. Each piece is handmade, so slight variations in embroidery, size, shape, and color are part of genuine craftsmanship rather than a flaw.

When will this preorder ship?
This piece is on preorder now, with delivery expected in December.

Who is this brooch a good gift for?
Collectors of moody, nature-inspired jewelry, and anyone who wants a brooch with a darker, elevated edge rather than a typical floral or pastel design.

Summary:
The Trovelore Long Eared Bat is a hand-embroidered brooch pin made in India using cotton, felt, sequins, and beads, featuring an elongated bat silhouette with dimensional texture and subtle shimmer.
