Meet Monique Thomas, the visionary founder and designer behind Be The Other. Driven by a personal desire for jewellery that breaks the mould, Monique embarked on a journey to create a collection that goes beyond adornment. With a commitment to re-loving, reusing, and repurposing clothing, each brooch is a testament to the stylish capabilities of this special accessory.

Unlike traditional jewellery designers, Monique's path to crafting unique pieces was through graphic design, infusing her creations with a distinctive quality. Her professional background provided the perfect canvas for translating imaginative possibilities into wearable works of art.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic 80s era, where characters like Jessica Fletcher (Murder She Wrote) adorned themselves with brooches, Monique found her muse. Motivated to start a renaissance, she believes brooches are more than accessories; they are a statement of individuality, a way to repurpose clothes, and the final touch that completes a unique look.

At Be The Other, we're not just about jewellery; we're about empowerment. Monique envisions each brooch inspiring, uplifting, and empowering you to set your own trend. Witnessing people express their individuality brings immense pleasure and pride to Monique, reminding everyone of their power and creativity.

Join us on a journey of self-expression and empowerment at Be The Other. Celebrate your uniqueness with brooches that transcend fashion – they tell a story, your story.

Dare to be the other!
