How to Start an Enamel Pin Collection That Lasts

Why Collect Pins

For us, pins aren’t just accessories — they’re stories you can wear. Each one carries meaning, whether it’s tied to culture, memories, or simply the joy of good design. Collecting enamel pins is a way to build something personal and lasting, a little gallery of who you are and what you love.

When we started Heritage Pin Co., it was because we wanted pins that felt special enough to keep forever — not just a trend, but a keepsake. That’s the spirit we believe every collection should start with.

 

Step 1: Choose Your Theme or Story

Every great collection begins with a theme. Maybe you love holiday traditions, maybe you collect pieces tied to your culture, or maybe you simply go after designs that make you smile. The key is to build a collection that feels like your story.

Step 2: Start with Meaningful Pieces

It’s tempting to grab every pin you see, but the most memorable collections are built with intention. Start with pins that mean something to you — like the Nutcracker, if you grew up with holiday performances, or our Whimsical Santa, if Christmas with family is your favorite tradition.

Collectibles feel richer when they connect to your life.

Step 3: Display with Pride

Pins are meant to be seen, not hidden in a drawer. Display them on jackets, tote bags, or scarves. Or create a collector’s board to showcase your favorites. Many collectors even frame their most meaningful pins as wall art.

At Heritage Pin Co., we package every pin on a custom backer card and inside a velvet drawstring bag — because presentation matters. Whether you wear them daily or display them seasonally, your pins should feel like art you live with.

Step 4: Care for Your Collection

A collection lasts when you take care of it. Keep your pins in their velvet bags or display cases when they’re not in use. Avoid humidity and handle them gently so the enamel and plating stay flawless. A little care goes a long way in keeping your collection timeless.

 

From Collector to Community

The best part about collecting pins isn’t just the pins themselves — it’s the community they create. Each design sparks conversation, connection, and sometimes even tradition.

That’s why we created Heritage Pin Co.: to give collectors pins that are meaningful, beautiful, and built to last. When you start your collection with pieces that reflect your story, you’re not just gathering objects — you’re creating a legacy.

 

From Pins With Love

Your enamel pin collection is more than a hobby. It’s a reflection of heritage, style, and the little details that make life special. Whether you’re just beginning or adding to a growing board, we hope our pins become a part of your story.
