The Cluster Brooch is built from a gathering of individual crocheted discs — each one a small cup-shaped rosette worked in concentric rings, its centre and edge in contrasting colours: burgundy, ochre, mustard, slate, blush, warm white, and charcoal. Packed together into a single dense form, the piece has the structural fascination of something natural — a cross-section, a colony. Up close, every disc is distinct; at a distance, they read as one considered whole.
Worked entirely by hand in Madagascar by the artisans Sophie Digard has long collaborated with, every disc is crocheted individually in linen before being assembled into the finished piece. No two are identical.

ABOUT the MAKER
Sophie Digard Créations
French designer Sophie Digard creates hand-crocheted heirloom pieces unlike any other — each one meticulously made by hand and entirely unique. With an extraordinary eye for detail and colour, Sophie develops her own hues by blending merino wool, linen, and velvet threads, resulting in tones of rich, subtle complexity. Her creations — scarves, brooches, bags, and accessories — are deeply personal, shaped by time, craftsmanship, and the tradition of slow making. Produced in Madagascar through a production model Sophie established with local women artisans, each piece combines age-old techniques with a refined French sensibility. These works are true keepsakes, cherished by collectors around the world for their beauty, texture, and soul.
