The price you see is the price you pay. Delivery is free within the United Kingdom.
A stockless anchor worked entirely in gold-toned bullion thread by Parisian embroidery house Macon & Lesquoy. The maker's own line for it is straightforward enough: don't sail without it. The coiled metal thread catches the light in a way flat embroidery never does.

A nautical motif that stays on the right side of costume, and one of the maker's longest-running designs. Slight variation between hand-embroidered examples is expected.
