Lapel pins serve a multitude of purposes, from hinting at the wearer’s zany personality, to showing affiliation with a club, organisation, or special cause. Looking for a subtle way to stand out from all the other ‘suits’ at the office? A classic pin does the job. Need a really effective way to honour high achievers? Merit badge pins are worn with pride. Want to jazz up an old backpack or denim jacket? Off-beat lapel pins instantly transform any old rag into a fashion item.
