EU Enamel Pin Shops

EU Enamel Pin Shops

Brexit and The orange lads' tariffs have made buying pins from outside the EU more expensive. So if you're looking to add to your collection and don't want to pay extra, here are some EU-base Pin Shops that'll help keep the cost down.

I'm based in Ireland, so I'm going to give a special shout out to my fellow Irish people first. 

Ireland

  • Aoife Crawley Art She’s known for her unreal Brat Bríde scarves, but she also has a host of stickers, totes and unreal enamel pins on her website too. Delivery is fast, the product is gorgeous and Aoife is a ridiculously pleasant person too.

  • The Collective is based at 24 Dury Street, Millet Wade’s solid brass pins are a high end edition to any jacket.

  • Dublin Only As the name might suggest, this website is only for Dubs. You’ll find a small range of Dublin GAA pins, including the Sam Maguire over there.

  • The EPIC Museum The EPIC museum is well worth a visit if you’re in the city, but their online store is also home to 9 Arrow’s range of pins, while she’s on Maternity leave.

  • Gael Design Store A shop of Republican, GAA and FAI pins. Great quality and fast delivery.

  • Gael Linn Some fáinne and a gorgeous ‘cúpla focal’ pin here for the Gaeilgeoir.

  • Hellfish Trading Based in the Bullring Market in Wexford, they don’t have an onkine store, but their stalls are a sight to behold.

  • Hue Complete Me A small, but broad collection of pins can be found here, including the ability to make your own pin card!

  • Maktus have a store in the Georges St Arcade, so if you’re looking to grab them in town, they’re perfect. They’ve a selection of pins, but they’re not updated as regularly as other companies.

  • MusicMaker If like me you spent your teenage Saturday afternoons in MusicMaker playing awful riffs on incredible guitars, you might like picking up a pin of their storefront (or their logo) online here.

  • Project 29 These are based in Stoneybatter and a lot of their pins aren’t online. They’ve a nice collection of them at the till in-store (including pieces by Yours Truly!)

  • Rothlú Handmade brooches in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes are here. These are high-end and very impressive pieces.

  • Rudaiolla A new discovery to me as I was making this list, but there is a very small collection of very elegant and sweet pins right here.

  • Sinn Fein Bookshop The only Irish political party to sell it’s own pins, Sinn Fein’s book store obviously sells a lot of republican pins (most notably, “STILL an unrepentant Fenian Bastard), but also pins for Palestine and the Basque region too.

  • Wall Hello! You’ll find many of these pins in Designist opposite the Georges St Arcade, but here’s where you’ll find some of their class pieces online.

 

Other EU Sellers

Alright, we're going further afield than Ireland here. Here are some other shops around the EU for you to check out.

  • All the Ways to Say 🇫🇷 French-based shop which has hundreds of products and gift ideas. Their pin offerings are cutesy and mostly soft-enamel

  • Arhoj 🇩🇰 Weird, but in a great way. These simple-looking pins are instantly recognisable designs from a distance, and they're sure to get a smile out of anyone that sees them.

  • M50 🇱🇻 Not to be confused with the Dublin motorway, this Latvian store sells very niche pins, unless you actually speak Latvian. Which I don't. Still, there are some fun visual ones here too!

  • Make Heads Turn 🇱🇹  This Lithuanian-based store sells a huge range of soft enamel and 3D pins that have been worn by the likes of Billie Eilish. They also seem really nice online, too.

  • MiaMouz 🇩🇪 Cute, with exceptional design and quality means that MiaMouz's pins are worth the slightly more expensive cost.

  • KatzenJammer 🇩🇪 Gorgeous, highly detailed pins with an emphasis on Eastern designs, nature and video games.

  • Pins & Paper 🇳🇱 A wide selection of pins with various styles, with a particular focus on the magical and fantasy.

  • Tarinapala 🇫🇮 A cracking collection of Finnish pins with focus on nature and sauna culture. These are lots of fun.  
  • TinkerbellsKawaii 🇪🇸 The name is a pretty great description of this brand. Cute, girly, big and bold designs. 

  • Titlee 🇫🇷 This French  haute fantaisie jewellery brand makes delicate, playful pieces that are produced in small batches. Beautiful stuff, altogether.
