These miniature pin-up necklaces and pins from Etsy designer A l'Heure de l'Apéro are perfect for any retro fan.
"A l'Heure de l'Apéro" translates to "sharing a drink before dinner," and it's easy to imagine these mini pin-ups as if they were alive, throwing back a Martini (or four) before the start of their chain-swept cameos.
These designs remind me of the ribbon routines that are a central part of Cirque du Soleil shows. A l'Heure de l'Apéro's tiny figurines are all handmade, and selections vary weekly at the Etsy shop.
