Potligopal’s quirky brooches

Brighten up your outfit of the day with embroidered fabric jewellery from this small, local business

These fabric brooches are woven with bright thread, using classic stitches like the French knot and the line stitch. Pair them with saris or shirts and jackets to to add a pop of colour to your usual look. The brooches have been hand-embroidered by Sugopa Coomar, whose grandmother instilled in her a love for embroidery. Potligopal – a fusion of her parents’ nicknames, Putli and Gopal – is Coomar’s labour of love. Her unique designs are eye-catching and make for the perfect quirky accessory. And yes, you can customise a design!
