Brooches & Pins

Brooches & Pins for a Little Extra Personality

Sometimes the smallest accessory says the most.

Our brooches and pins are made for adding colour, humour and personality to the things you already wear and carry. Pin one onto a denim jacket, backpack, tote bag or another suitable fabric surface and suddenly something ordinary feels much more like yours.

The collection moves between cute, quirky, mystical and slightly ridiculous — exactly as a good pin collection should.

Pin Badges: Tiny Designs With Plenty to Say

A pin badge doesn't need to match your entire outfit.

That's part of the fun.

Choose a design because you love mushrooms. Add a dragon because fantasy is your thing. Pick an Evil Eye for its familiar protective symbolism, a rainbow cloud because it makes you smile, or a funny saying that other people have to get close enough to read.

Pins let you add small pieces of your personality without changing everything else you're wearing.

One can be enough, or you can gradually build a whole collection.

Mushrooms, Dragons, Rainbows & More

There's no single theme running through this collection — and that's exactly what makes it interesting.

You'll find designs inspired by fantasy, nature, mushrooms, animals, symbols, humour and positive messages.

That variety makes pins particularly good for mixing.

A fantasy-themed bag might collect dragons and magical designs, while another could become a growing patchwork of mushrooms, rainbows, funny phrases and whatever else catches your eye.

You don't have to make the collection make sense to anyone else.

Where Can You Wear Pin Badges?

Jackets and denim are obvious favourites, but they're only the beginning.

Depending on the fabric and fastening, pins can also add personality to backpacks, tote bags, fabric pouches, hats and other accessories.

They're particularly useful for pieces you already own but want to make more individual.

Browse our Bags & Purses if you're looking for something new to customise.

Before attaching a pin, consider the fabric. A pin creates a small hole, so delicate, loosely woven or easily marked materials may not be the best choice.

Build Your Own Pin Collection

One of the nicest things about pin badges is that you don't have to choose only one style.

Collections can grow slowly as you find designs that mean something to you, make you laugh or simply look good together.

You could build around a theme — mushrooms, fantasy, animals or mystical symbols — or completely ignore themes and choose whatever you like.

Pins can also be moved between suitable jackets and bags, so the same collection doesn't need to stay in one place forever.

Pins Make Easy Little Gifts

Small accessories can be surprisingly good gifts because they don't require clothing sizes or complicated styling decisions.

A mushroom pin for the friend who loves fungi.

A dragon for the fantasy fan.

A funny badge for someone who shares your sense of humour.

A positive message for somebody who could use one.

The design itself does most of the work.

They're also easy additions to a larger birthday or Christmas gift when you want to include something small and personal.

Evil Eye Pins & Symbolic Designs

Some pin designs carry symbolism as well as decoration.

The Evil Eye, for example, has a long history across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and surrounding cultures as a protective symbol associated with guarding against the harmful effects of the evil eye or envious attention.

Today it appears across jewellery, home décor and fashion accessories around the world.

If you're drawn to the symbol beyond pin badges, browse our Evil Eye & Hamsa Hand collection.

Other designs may simply have a personal meaning because of what they represent to you.

Not every pin needs a centuries-old story.

Sometimes you just really like mushrooms.

Caring for Your Pins

Keep pins dry where possible and avoid spraying perfume, hairspray or cleaning products directly onto them.

When removing a pin, hold the fastening rather than pulling hard on the decorative front.

Store loose pins somewhere they won't be heavily scratched or crushed by larger accessories.

And don't forget the practical part: always secure the backing properly before heading out. A favourite pin is much less fun when you discover an empty spot on your jacket at the end of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brooches & Pins

What can I put pin badges on?

Pins work particularly well on denim jackets, backpacks, tote bags, hats and other suitable fabric accessories. Avoid delicate fabrics that may be damaged by the pin.

Can I wear several pins together?

Absolutely. Mixing several designs is one of the easiest ways to create a personalised jacket, bag or pin collection.

Are pin badges good gifts?

Yes. They're small, easy to choose around someone's interests and don't require you to know their clothing or jewellery size.

How do I stop a pin badge from falling off?

Make sure the backing is pushed or fastened securely into place and check it occasionally, particularly on bags and jackets that get plenty of movement.
