Brooches

Bullfighting brooches: the traje de luces on your lapel

A brooch is the easiest way to add a bullfighting touch to any outfit. Our brooches are inspired by the decorations of the traje de luces—alamares and machos—and are designed to be worn on a jacket, sweater, or dress, at the feria, at a wedding, or day to day.

Handcrafted brooches

• Handcrafted Alamar Brooch: made from wire and stones, handmade in Spain by bullfighting artisans.
• Wire Machos Brooch (TS): recreates the macho, the tassel decoration of the traje de luces. It’s handcrafted, in black, silver, or green, and has a clip to attach it to clothing.
• Alamares Brooch: a lighter version for everyday wear.
