We’re honoured to have worked with once again, creating a bespoke embroidered blazer badge for two very special recent shows in Mexico City 🌺

Inspired by Mexico’s national flower, the dahlia, the design features layered bullion loops that mimic the flower’s natural petal structure in warm tones of purple, pink, burgundy, coral and peach. These are set against a green background inspired by the Mexican flag.

Designed to stand out against his white suit, it was a wonderful opportunity to create a beautifully detailed badge that would catch the light on stage! A little hand embroidery magic for the weekend! ✨
