    Pins and brooches

    Hi all,

    I'm currently using a small brooch for a kilt pin, a norse knotted dragon (similar to welsh dragons and celtic horses). It's from a Norwegian design label called "Snorre". They have quite a lot of different jewellery, many pins and brooches that could be used as plaid brooches or kilt pins. Some are gold, some silver, and some bronze - some designs available in all three. I really like them, so I thought I'd share!

    They currently don't ship internationally, but some of their retailers do. Oh, and I have no affiliation with this company. Just like their stuff.

    When a brooch is worn this high, would you pin it through the under-apron as well, or is it still only attatched to the apron?

    I guess both could be done. I personaly simply attache it to the apron.
