Why Santa
We love Christmas. But when we looked for decorations and collectibles that reflected our family and heritage, we couldn’t find an upscale, beautiful Santa that looked like us. So we created our own.
What started as a personal design — one we thought only we would cherish — turned into something we realized others might love too. That’s how the Whimsical Santa Enamel Pin was born.
And because we imagined gifting him to someone else, we knew the presentation mattered. Instead of struggling with wrapping, we decided to offer each pin in a velvet drawstring bag, making it the perfect keepsake for both collecting and gift giving.
Our Inspiration
It’s true — Black Santas are out there, and in recent years they’ve become easier to find. But what we couldn’t find was a designer-inspired Santa pin that felt upscale, stylish, and beautifully made.
We like pretty things. We have expensive-looking taste. And we were inspired to create a collectible Black Santa enamel pin that looked like it cost a million bucks, but was still accessible — a piece of art at an affordable price.
The goal was simple: something we’d be proud to wear and just as proud to give as a gift. A Santa with elegance, heritage, and joy all wrapped into one meaningful keepsake.
The Design Process
From the beginning, we knew this pin had to feel special — like a luxury accessory you’d find in a boutique. Every detail was chosen with that vision in mind.
We started with sketches, playing with proportions and features until Santa looked both joyful and refined. His warm smile and gentle expression were essential, but so were the touches that gave him that “million-bucks” feel: the holly crown on his hat, the flowing golden swirls in his beard, and the richness of deep red and green enamel.
When it came to finishing, we went with gold plating — because nothing says timeless elegance like gold. At 2 inches tall, the pin has just the right presence: bold enough to stand out, but still wearable. And to complete the experience, every Whimsical Santa comes tucked inside a velvet drawstring bag — a little nod to the luxury packaging you’d expect from designer pieces.
The result? A Santa who feels both heritage-rich and high-style. A collectible you’ll want to keep forever, but also one that feels just right to give as a meaningful, upscale holiday gift.
From Concept to Collectible
The Whimsical Santa isn’t just another holiday decoration — he’s a statement piece. We designed him to feel like a high-end collectible, but one that doesn’t sit behind a glass case. He’s meant to be worn, shared, and passed on.
For us, it’s about more than creating a pin — it’s about creating something families can be proud of. A Santa that carries heritage, joy, and style in every detail. Something you can wear on your coat, gift to a loved one, or display proudly in your collection.
And the best part? He feels like he cost a million bucks, but he’s accessible to everyone who loves beautiful design and values representation.
From Santa With Love
The Whimsical Santa Enamel Pin was born from our love of Christmas, our passion for design, and our belief that heritage deserves to shine in every detail. We’re proud to share him with you — and we can’t wait to see how he becomes part of your holiday story.
