The holidays are a season of gathering - of shared warmth, quiet beauty, and meaningful moments. At Brackish, this time of year holds a special place in our story. It’s a celebration of craftsmanship, connection, and the natural elements that inspire everything we create.
This season, we’re proud to unveil our 2025 Holiday Collection - an ode to nature’s iridescence, timeless design, and the joy of giving. Featuring handcrafted bow ties, statement jewelry, handbags, and accessories for men, this collection captures the festive spirit through elevated artistry. Each piece tells a story of transformation: raw feathers reimagined through human hands into wearable works of art.
Whether you’re searching for the perfect gift, planning your holiday attire, or simply treating yourself to something truly special, The Holiday Collection offers something for everyone - each piece created with intention, elegance, and the unmistakable Brackish touch.
A Celebration of Natural Luxury
Since our founding, Brackish has been rooted in one guiding principle: to honor nature through craftsmanship. Every feather, every shimmer, and every subtle curve in our designs reflects the authenticity of the materials we work with.
This year’s Holiday Collection continues that legacy, merging festive color palettes, natural textures, and enduring silhouettes that shine long after the season ends. From the luminous copper tones of the Turkey Capsule to the deep, jewel-toned radiance of the Burgundy Capsule, each piece is a study in contrast - earthy yet refined, bold yet timeless, natural yet extraordinary.
It’s more than a collection - it’s a celebration of what happens when artistry and nature meet in perfect harmony.
The Turkey Capsule: Nature’s Iridescence Reimagined
Few feathers capture light, and imagination, quite like the turkey feather. With its natural shimmer and warm, coppery undertones, it has long symbolized abundance and gratitude - the very essence of the holiday season.
For Him: A Modern Classic
The Canopy Bow Tie embodies the interplay of light, texture, and craftsmanship. Inspired by the layered beauty of treetops and sunlight filtering through leaves, this piece showcases the full iridescent spectrum of the turkey feather - bronze, gold, green, and deep rust - revealed through an artful, arching layout.
Each feather is carefully sourced and hand-placed by our Charleston artisans, ensuring no two ties are ever alike. The result is a design that feels alive - shifting in tone as the light moves, much like the forest canopy that inspired it.
Perfect for winter gatherings, formal dinners, or holiday weddings, the Canopy Bow Tie pairs natural beauty with Brackish’s unmistakable sense of refinement.
For Her: Timeless Texture, Elevated Glow
The Le Marais Clutch transforms the classic evening accessory into something extraordinary. Structured yet graceful, this clutch features a hand-applied panel of copper turkey feathers, their natural shimmer creating a play of depth and light with every movement.
The organic patterning of the feathers tells its own story - warm copper hues that shift between burnished gold and deep auburn. The result is an accessory that feels simultaneously luxurious and effortless, embodying the quiet confidence of true craftsmanship.
Whether styled with a silk gown or a tailored suit, the Le Marais Clutch in Turkey is designed to be the finishing touch that never feels overdone - a modern heirloom for the woman who values understated glamour.
Sleek, sophisticated, and undeniably timeless, the Greenwich Bucket Bag in Turkey is the ultimate expression of understated luxury. Each feather reveals subtle iridescence, adding natural depth and shine to the bag’s monochromatic palette. The result is a rich, dimensional finish that shifts beautifully in the light - capturing quiet elegance in every movement.
With its classic bucket silhouette, the Greenwich Bucket Bag strikes a perfect balance between structure and softness. Designed for versatility, it transitions effortlessly from polished daytime looks to refined evenings out. The neutral slate tones pair seamlessly with any wardrobe, making it a go-to accessory for those who appreciate modern minimalism with an artisanal edge.
The Burgundy Capsule: A Study in Bold Elegance
Where the Turkey Capsule celebrates natural warmth and radiance, the Burgundy Capsule explores depth, drama, and rich tonal contrast. Inspired by twilight skies and the glow of winter gatherings, this collection brings together feathers from goose, pheasant, and peacock, layered to create dimension and visual intrigue.
For Him: Confident by Design
Bold yet endlessly sophisticated, the Cruise Bow Tie is this season’s statement piece. Crafted from layers of smooth goose feathers and fringed red pheasant, it radiates energy and confidence without sacrificing the balance that defines Brackish design.
The tonal layering of crimson and rust gives the bow tie a natural gradient, evoking the warmth of a winter sunset. Whether paired with a classic tuxedo or a velvet dinner jacket, the Cruise Bow Tie embodies the art of effortless presence - the kind of style that speaks without needing to shout.
Every detail matters. The Maple Pin proves that even the smallest accessory can make a lasting impression. Inspired by the turning leaves of late autumn, this piece blends smooth goose feathers with red pheasant fringe, creating a sense of organic motion and color depth.
The result is a pin that feels alive - elegant on a lapel, hat, or scarf = and a beautiful companion to the Cruise Bow Tie. Together, they tell a cohesive story: one of confidence, color, and craftsmanship.
For Her: Statement Jewelry for the Season
Jewelry is where the artistry of Brackish truly comes to life. Each feather is hand-selected for color, sheen, and pattern, then transformed into pieces that blend modern structure with organic beauty. The Burgundy Capsule offers a complete range of earrings, a hinge cuff, a necklace, and a brooch - perfect for both holiday soirées and year-round sophistication.
Earrings: Jewel-Toned Modernity
Small in size but rich in presence, the Myra Frame Stud redefines everyday elegance. Crafted with dyed Dark Berry peacock eye feathers in a mirrored layout, this piece reflects hues of plum, garnet, and midnight - shimmering differently from every angle.
For a touch of movement and luminosity, the Willow Drop Earring is a celebration of natural rhythm. Each vertical bezel showcases a unique segment of peacock feather, arranged to capture the subtle variation and glow of the feather’s base.
Two looks in one, the Isla Bezel Jacket Earring embodies versatility with a sense of drama. When worn as a simple stud, it offers a delicate shimmer of color and light. Add the feathered jacket, and the piece transforms - layered, bold, and full of movement.
A sculptural masterpiece, the Scarlett Triangle Hoop offers a fresh, architectural take on traditional hoop earrings. Double-sided feather inlays showcase the peacock’s iconic “eye” pattern both at the top and bottom, ensuring symmetry and color play from every angle.
Luminous Layers: Cuffs, Necklaces, Brooches
Cuffs are a Brackish signature - and the Lyra Bezel Hinge Cuff captures everything we love about the form. Dyed peacock feathers shimmer in shades of violet, plum, and wine, layered to create a multi-dimensional surface that feels both tactile and fluid. Designed with a hinged back for ease of wear, this piece blends sculptural structure with organic movement - bold enough for evening, refined enough for everyday. It’s a modern heirloom designed to turn any moment into a statement.
Delicate yet powerful, the Aurora Triangle Necklace brings a touch of understated sparkle to the neckline. Crafted with fine strands of peacock hurl - the iridescent filaments that frame the feather’s “eye” - this piece captures the essence of movement and light. Set in a sleek, asymmetrical triangle frame with 18K gold plating, this pendant balances geometry and grace. Worn solo, it adds a whisper of shimmer. Layered, it becomes part of a story - a personal expression of artistry and refinement.
Every holiday look deserves a touch of intrigue - and the Celeste Brooch delivers just that. With layered peacock eyes dyed in moody berry tones, this piece reveals a shifting palette of plum, wine, and midnight violet. Sculptural yet subtle, it’s the ultimate finishing touch for coats, shawls, or evening attire - a tribute to nature’s most enchanting moments.
Craftsmanship That Tells a Story
Behind every Brackish piece is a process as thoughtful as the final design. Each feather is hand-selected, cleaned, steamed, trimmed, and arranged by artisans in Charleston, South Carolina. Every step is deliberate, every placement considered.
This dedication ensures that no two Brackish pieces are ever identical - because nature doesn’t repeat itself, and neither do we. The result is wearable art: deeply personal, endlessly timeless, and unmistakably handcrafted.
The Art of Gifting, Redefined
The holidays are, above all, about connection - and gifting something meaningful is one of the most powerful ways to express it. Whether you’re choosing a bow tie for him, a pair of statement earrings for her, or a handbag that captures the spirit of the season, Brackish pieces carry stories worth sharing.
Each box you open reveals not just a piece of jewelry or an accessory, but a story of nature, craftsmanship, and care - made by hand, made to last, and made to be remembered.
A Season of Shine
As you prepare for the celebrations ahead - the dinners, the gatherings, the quiet moments by the fire - let this collection be your companion. The Holiday Collection is designed to be more than festive décor; it’s an invitation to celebrate craftsmanship, individuality, and natural beauty in its truest form.
Because the best gifts - like the best designs - are timeless.
