    Learn More About Pins & Badges

    There are so many eye-catching badges and pins to choose from on Etsy, including colorful enamel pins for your jacket or bag and unique custom pins brimming with personality. Bring attention to your favorite headwear with gorgeous vintage hat pins or wear clothing pins like stylish dress clips that add pizzazz to a wedding gown or formalwear. Custom-made pins and badges designed by creative sellers on Etsy bring a one-of-a-kind element to any type of attire.

    The possibilities are endless when you’re wearing badges and pins, and they can be worn on more than just clothing:


    • Lapel pins: A lapel pin is a type of jewelry that lends a colorful, stylish element to a blazer, jacket, or top. Look for unique shawl pins that tie scarves and shawls together in style.
    • Vintage pins: Get creative and wear vintage pins from different eras to give any outfit a touch of retro style.
    • Enamel pins: With an endless assortment of designs, enamel pins add a colorful touch to clothes and accessories. Check out some fun enamel hat pins to add fun pizzazz to your favorite headwear.
    • Custom: Work with a seller on Etsy to create custom badges and custom lapel pins or unique brooches, pins, and clips for special events, weddings, or as a fun, unique accessory no one else will have.
    • Magnetic: If sharp pins are a concern, try magnetic badges that attach to your clothing with strong, durable magnets on each side.

    When it comes to the difference between pins and badges, it’s all about the closure style. Badges are often round in shape and they use a safety pin-style clasp to keep them in place. Pins typically use a straight, thin, sharp “pin” or two on the back that punctures clothing and accessories. Some pin types go right into clothes, like hat and stick pins, while classic pins usually have some kind of backing to hold them in place.
