The Small Tortoiseshell is one of the most widespread and familiar butterflies across Europe. Found in gardens, meadows, and woodland edges, it is easily recognised by its orange and black patterned wings edged with blue crescents. Adults hibernate through the winter in sheltered places, often reappearing on the first warm days of spring, making it one of the earliest butterflies to be seen each year.
This enamel pin, finished with screen-printed detail, highlights the intricate wing markings that make the species so distinctive. A fitting piece for those interested in butterflies, pollinators, or finely crafted designs.
Each pin is supplied on a custom illustrated backing card, featuring a setting that reflects the butterfly’s natural habitat.

The planet is important to us
My commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in my business ethos, and our planet is paramount in my operations. I meticulously source our products from sustainable materials, ensuring minimal environmental impact throughout the supply chain. Every item I dispatch is meticulously packaged in plastic-free or recyclable materials, reflecting my dedication to reducing waste and preserving our ecosystems. While I strive to eliminate cello bags, we currently use biodegradable alternatives. I encourage my customers to dispose of these bags responsibly in black waste bins, facilitating their breakdown. At the same time, all other packaging can be recycled, further contributing to our collective efforts in building a greener future.
Buying from outside the UK
If you are an international buyer, please remember that, as a seller, I have no control over the postal service once it has been shipped or over customs charges. Customs fees are the responsibility of the receiver, and since Brexit, EU countries may incur a fee even if marked as a gift, which is not legally acceptable for me to do.
Creation of my work
I'm available for wholesale enquiries, providing access to our line sheet or Faire link, and I also accept commissions, both big and small. Let's create something special together.
