Best Friends Victorian Tabby Cat Brooch – The Divine Iguana

Why You’ll Love It

If you’re collecting brooches for 2026’s maximalist accessory trend, this is the kind of piece that adds softness and charm to your stack.

The Best Friends Victorian Tabby Cat Brooch features a classic tabby adorned with a delicate pink ribbon against a light pink background. It feels romantic, a little literary, and perfectly suited for layering across blazers, denim jackets, handbags, and even sweater collars.

Ideal stacking size at 1.25” wide
Detailed image area (.75”) about the size of a quarter
Warm bronze setting for vintage depth
Lightweight and easy to layer in multiples
Handmade in the USA
Gift-ready packaging included

It’s feminine without being overly sweet. Vintage without feeling costume-y. And when mixed with florals, cameos, or celestial pins, it creates that curated collector look everyone is leaning into for 2026.

About the Maker: The Divine Iguana

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

Each brooch is made by hand in a Detroit, Michigan home studio. The brand celebrates the nerdy, the bookish, and the curious, offering thoughtful designs at accessible price points so you can actually build a collection instead of stopping at just one.

Styling Tips for the 2026 Brooch Trend

This is not a one-pin situation.

Try it:

Clustered with 3–6 brooches across one blazer lapel
Scattered down the front of a structured jacket
Pinned to a crossbody strap
Added to a canvas tote
Mixed with bold florals or Victorian portrait brooches

They do not have to match. In fact, mixing imagery makes the look feel intentional and editorial.
