Historical information

Stick pins were initially designed in the early 19th century to hold cravats and ties in place, particularly for wealthy gentlemen. Over time, stick pins became popular among both men and women. By the late 19th century, women began using them to secure scarves and adorn their outfits, reflecting changing fashion trends. Today, stick pins are worn as elegant accessories on lapels, ties, and scarves. They can add a touch of vintage charm to an outfit and are often used in formal setting.
