GIVEAWAY - 'That Vintage' Deer and Lace Brooch

'That Vintage' Summer 2011 range

Summer lends itself to being the statement season of contrasts; the temperature is hot, the waters feel more refreshing than ever before, the trees dry out suddenly yet the rains come thick and fast.

With the thought of contrasts in mind, Sophie's Summer range for That Vintage has correlated a mix of feathers, fur, iron and lace all pictured on the beautiful Tasmanian Myrtle wood.

Sweet and feminine yet strong; delicate little feathered birds perched on edges of wrought iron licks and a feature of lace and woodgrain are engraved.

In the That Vintage Summer 2011 range, the contrast carries through to a more tangible dimension with the release of the "Pop-Up" designs - creating shadow and interest with an eye popping deer, rabbit and dove.

To view the new Summer 2011 range visit madeit.com.au/thatvintage
