Kylie has bought back a collection of leaf brooches commissioned from a wonderful jeweller called Aya who she’d met in kyoto last year…
Aya makes lost wax brass leaves (each one a one off) of cherry blossom tree leaves that she collected along the philosophers path in kyoto…
Kylie commissioned this new collection as the utter poetry of such a piece bought her to tears when she first met aya last year, and a thought and such a small perfect moment and object to capture
as someone who’s been pressing leaves between pages of books for decades to remind her of moments in life it was a sign that these needed to be part of the offering kylie has at paper boat press and all those who find kyoto and japan a part of their soul…
please note as with brass objects they will tarnish and age (which is part of their charm) but can also be polished if you want them to stay golden…
brooches are between 48 and 52 mm long and all on off leaves as they appeared along the philosophers path in kyoto…
