A small piece of Guatemalan tradition you can wear. The brooch carries five handmade worry dolls on a secure metal pin: bright threads, hand-painted faces, and a legend that travels with you.

By tradition, you whisper your worries to the dolls before sleep, and by morning they have carried them away. This brooch lets that symbol of calm move with you, pinned to a jacket, a bag, or a hat.

Why Each Brooch Is Unique

No two brooches are alike. Because each doll is wound and painted by hand, the thread colors and tiny faces vary from one to the next. The variation is the mark of the maker, not a defect.

How to Wear It

Pin it to a jacket lapel, a tote, a hat, or a scarf. It wears as easily as it gives, a considered handmade gift with its story intact.
