Full description

This range of pins has been influenced by military style medals but with a feminine edge.

These simple recycled wool tweed and sheer chiffon pins are finished with genuine National Coal Board brass miners check tags - historical, traditional and feminine.

These brass tags, sometimes called pit tags, were carried for safety. Each tag had the miner's identification number on it. Each numbered check corresponded to a numbered nail on a large wooden board. If the miner did not return his check at the end of the day, a rescue team was sent in to find him,

The tweed section measures approximately 5cm square and the chiffon fabric is infinished and a combination of pale greens, light browns and peach - the antiqued copper finish pin is approximately 7cm long.

The pins are finished with my latest 'mend, but never make do' branded fabric name tape -which can be left on or removed as you wish.

Designed by Sarah Hancox in Derbyshire
