The Brand Story: The Divine Iguana

The Divine Iguana is a women-owned collection created under the direction of Rena Hopkins and handcrafted by a small band of female artisans.

Made by hand in a Detroit, Michigan home studio, the collection celebrates the nerdy, the literary, and the delightfully curious. Their Victorian-inspired imagery makes these brooches ideal for 2026’s layered accessory movement.

When customers ask, “Is this handmade?”, yes. In the USA. In small batches.

Styling Tips for the 2026 Brooch Trend

This isn’t a one-and-done pin.

Try it:

Clustered with 3–5 brooches across a blazer lapel
Scattered down one sleeve for editorial drama
Layered with florals, cameos, and celestial pins
Added to a structured handbag
Pinned near the collar of a denim jacket

They do not have to match. In fact, mixing Victorian imagery with modern pieces creates the most interesting look.
