Posted by Brackish Team on

After a resounding success in 2024, we are thrilled to announce our 2025 capsule collection for The Kentucky Derby. Building on last year’s incredible partnership, we’ve designed a fresh, vibrant, and absolutely stunning range of handcrafted pieces that are sure to steal the show on Derby Day. From the men’s to the women’s pieces, our collection this year brings a fresh breath of spring, capturing the essence of elegance, energy, and artistry that The Kentucky Derby embodies. As the excitement builds for this iconic event, we’re betting high on the fact that you’ll fall in love with this collection just as much as we loved creating it.

The 2025 Derby season promises to be one of style, sophistication, and spirited competition, not just on the racetrack, but in the fashion stakes as well. Whether you're attending the event in person or participating in the fashion celebrations from afar, our latest capsule collection offers a range of pieces designed to elevate your Derby experience.

This year’s collection blends the traditional with the contemporary, mixing classic colors and unique materials to create a series of accessories that embody the rich culture of The Kentucky Derby. From standout feathered pieces to bold, hand-selected colors that recall the beauty of the Derby’s iconic landscape, this collection is destined to be your go-to for every Derby event, from the parade to the final race.

The Stargazer Lily Collection

We are especially excited to introduce the Stargazer Lily Collection, a beautiful fusion of tradition and innovation. The Stargazer Lily, a flower that has been a staple in the Derby's floral lineup since 1991, has long been associated with femininity, strength, and grace. It’s one of the most recognizable flowers at the event, and its symbolism provided us with the perfect inspiration for this year’s collection.

The Stargazer Lily is not just another flower; it’s an emblem of beauty and resilience, which made it the perfect muse for a series of pieces that aim to capture the allure of Derby season while also honoring the natural strength and grace of those who participate in it.

In crafting the collection, we sought to infuse these same qualities into both the men’s and women’s designs, highlighting pastel tones and the delicate elegance that the Stargazer Lily embodies. This collection is all things pink, from the softest blush to the deepest rose, with every piece meticulously handcrafted using the finest materials. 

For the men’s collection, the style is undeniably bold, yet refined—perfect for making a statement while remaining timelessly elegant. We believe the Tack Bow Tie is destined to become a showstopper. This piece is a true work of art, crafted from a combination of goose, pheasant, and rooster feathers, which gives it texture and depth that is not only visually striking, but also remarkably lightweight. This bow tie is available as a standalone statement, but for those who want to go all in, it pairs beautifully with the matching Cinch Plum Thicket Pin and the Lead Pocket Square - each handcrafted to perfection with the same meticulous attention to detail. Together, these pieces create an outfit that will not only turn heads but also bring good fortune, as feathers are long considered symbols of luck.

When you want to make a dramatic statement while maintaining a sense of feminine grace, the Bridle Drop Earring is an essential addition to your wardrobe. This stunning new style incorporates goose and rooster feathers, carefully arranged to create a balanced yet show-stopping design. These lightweight beauties are more than just earrings; they’re wearable works of art. We expect these earrings to be an immediate favorite among Derby-goers, bringing an extra layer of elegance to your ensemble while keeping you cool and comfortable as you take in the sights and sounds of Derby Day.

For those who prefer a bit of extra sparkle and shine, the Saddle Thin Cuff is the perfect accessory to complete your look. Featuring a pop of orange, this colorful bracelet adds just the right amount of flair and is a fantastic choice for layering or wearing alone. The mix of pastels and bold accents perfectly complements the spirit of the Stargazer Lily, making it the perfect final touch for any outfit.

Our Reins Multi Bezel Earring is one of the most anticipated new pieces in the collection. These multi-bezel earrings are a striking example of contemporary design combined with traditional elements. The mirrored effect created by the featherwork adds a unique, eye-catching quality, while the intricate layering of feathers gives the earrings both texture and movement. These earrings are designed for those who want to make a bold impression while staying true to the Derby’s rich tradition of beauty and artistry.

The Budding Blue Collection

While the Stargazer Lily Collection takes inspiration from the iconic floral landscape of The Kentucky Derby, the Budding Blue Collection takes a more vibrant and dynamic approach, inspired by the bright and striking colors that decorate this year’s Derby poster. This capsule collection is small but mighty, with each piece designed to make a statement while remaining true to the spirit of the Derby.

The central feature of this collection is the bold blue that dominates the design, accented by vibrant hues of green, yellow, and orange. These colors come together in a stunning harmony that mimics the vibrancy of the Derby itself: the energy of the race, the exuberance of the crowds, and the passion of the competition. It’s a celebration of color and life, and we’re confident you’ll fall in love with how these pieces make you feel.

The Bit Bow Tie is a standout piece in the Budding Blue Collection. Featuring a combination of peacock feathers alongside layers of goose, pheasant, and rooster feathers, this bow tie is an elegant yet modern take on the classic Derby accessory. The rich textures and vibrant hues of the feathers make this tie a showstopper, while the quality craftsmanship ensures that it will remain an enduring piece in your wardrobe for years to come.

For those who appreciate attention to detail, the Harness Plum Thicket Pin is the perfect complement to the Bit Bow Tie. This pin features intricate featherwork, and is designed to be worn either as a lapel pin or a hat pin. Whether you choose to wear it on your head or over your heart, the Plum Thicket Pin is truly breathtaking, adding an extra layer of charm to your outfit.

No Derby outfit is complete without the right statement earrings, and our Stirrups Statement Earring is poised to be a fan favorite. This bold design features goose feathers with a mix of pheasant and peacock in the bezel. This creates a look that is both striking and sophisticated. The fluffy feathers bring movement and texture to your look, and the eye-catching design will ensure that you’re the center of attention. With this earring, you’ll be able to truly embody the spirit of the Derby - dynamic, bold, and unforgettable.
