A beautiful and eye catching vintage heart shaped gold tone and fuchsia red lucite Christian Lacroix insignia pin brooch, early 1990s. A very collectible iconic piece.

The House of Christian Lacroix was created by Arlesian couturier Christian Lacroix and press agent Jean-Jacques Picart, with support from Bernard Arnault. Word quickly spread throughout Paris and Christian Lacroix’s name was on everyone’s lips.
