Felt Hippo Brooch

Each brooch is individually hand‑sewn from soft felt, with visible embroidery stitches securely holding the pieces together. Light padding gives shape, while hand‑sewn beads add subtle decorative detail. Finished with a signature Heartfelt heart, every brooch is supplied with a signed card from one of the makers, highlighting the care and skill behind the craftsmanship. A secure metal pin is attached at the back, ready for wearing or gifting.

HEARTFELT was founded by Martha and Julie to create jobs for women in Makapanstad through traditional handcraft skills. Each day, these women gather to chat and craft felt and beaded products, empowering themselves and benefiting the community. A portion of their sales supports local charities fighting TB, HIV/AIDS, and aiding children and the elderly. HEARTFELT aims to heal hearts and bring hope to those without daily opportunities, filling the hearts of many with love and hope.
