Pin Brooches
The pin brooch is the classic fastening par excellence: a pin and clasp that pass through the fabric for a firm, secure hold. Ideal on a jacket, a coat or a thicker fabric, it stays put all day. At Ma Broche, find fashion pin brooches to wear on your favourite outfits.
The pin brooch, the classic fastening
Trusted and timeless, the pin brooch fastens with a pin and clasp that pass through the fabric. At Ma Broche these fashion designs come in gold-tone or silver-tone metal with enamel and rhinestones, from flowers to graphic motifs. Sturdy and reassuring, the pin is the fastening many people grew up with. If you would rather not pierce the fabric, see our magnetic brooches, or explore the whole brooch collection.
When to choose a pin brooch
The pin comes into its own on thicker fabrics and structured pieces: a wool coat, a denim jacket, a blazer lapel or a felt hat. It grips firmly and holds a heavier design securely, which makes it a dependable choice for everyday wear and for statement brooches.
Pin or magnet: which to choose?
The pin is robust and ideal on thick or structured fabrics, while a magnetic brooch holds with no hole on fine or delicate materials. Neither is better in the abstract: it comes down to the fabric and how often you like to restyle. Many wardrobes happily use both.
