Have you ever seen a grin without a cat? Wear this couple of brooches on the collar of your favorite white shirt for a purrrfect look. The illustrations of Alice and the Cheshire cat are two original collages created by us using magazine papers and old books for textures and colors. Get a closer look and discover the many pieces of paper that make the cat! We print the images on to high-quality paper, cut them by hand, and customize Alice’s dress with red beads. Finally, we enamel and assemble the characters into unique brooches. Alice and the Cheshire Cat brooch is made by hand in Italy in Ortiz-Gadler studio by the Adige river.

Please note that due to the bespoke nature of this piece, it will not be identical to the brooch featured in the photograph, however it will be very similar. The item will come in a lovely heart-shaped package, ready to be gifted.
HOW TO CARE FOR THE ALICE AND THE CHESHIRE CAT BROOCH: Keep your brooch safe in a cool, dry place. Make sure to remove it before bed as it may get damaged. However, you can leave it hanging from your clothes in the closet. Although very resistant, try to keep water, perfume, sprays, and lotions away from the brooch as moisture can ruin the resin. You don’t want a cloudy look on the glass-like shine. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean your brooch. This will help to remove any fingerprints and dust and will keep your jewelry looking perfect.
