Lipstick & Chrome

Where retro glamour
meets wearable art

Limited-edition acrylic brooches crafted in exclusive collaboration with the world's most celebrated retro and vintage artists. Each piece tells a story.

Our Story

The art of the
perfect pin

Lipstick & Chrome was born from a deep love of mid-century Americana — the tailfins, the jukeboxes, the red lips and rhinestones. We believe the most extraordinary accessories don't just complete an outfit; they start a conversation.

Every brooch is laser-cut from premium acrylic resin, hand-finished with layered dimension, and brought to life through exclusive collaborations with some of the finest retro artists working today. Limited runs. Big personality. Forever style.
