Honouring Remembrance Day: The Lock & Co. Poppy Pin

Having joined the team only a few weeks ago, our milliner Isabel has already brought her remarkable embroidery expertise to life with a very special creation for Remembrance Day 2025. Isabel created a limited series of handcrafted poppy pins – each one a small work of art, made here at No. 6 St
James’s Street.

Trained at the Royal School of Needlework in Hampton Court Palace, Isabel combines traditional Raisedwork and Goldwork techniques - both used for Royal ceremonial garments and military uniforms - to handcraft each poppy pin.

Only four have been made, each symbolising honour, reflection, and craftsmanship in its purest form. Each piece took around 12 hours to make with profits donated to the Royal British Legion.
