Small things worth keeping.
Pinned is an independent enamel-pin label based in Manila, Philippines. We make small collectible objects about places, things, and the strange reasons we keep them.
The whole thing started as an argument about souvenirs: why anyone keeps a transit card from a city they no longer live in, still holding a small unspendable balance. We didn't resolve the argument. We made pins about it instead.
The name
A pin holds things in place. Pinning is how you keep something: attach it, save it, put it on the board. Pining is the same instinct pointed at something already gone. The name sits in the gap between the three. You don't have to notice that to like a pin.
How we work
Designs come out in small batches. Core pins sometimes come back; anything marked Limited is a numbered run we don't reprint. Hard enamel, mostly 28–40mm, gold or silver plating, rubber clutches as standard.
The collections
- Places. Transit, terminals, and the places you only half-arrive at.
- Things. Cameras, cassettes, cups gone cold. Objects that outlast their use.
- Feelings. Missed timing, awkward affection, and unsent messages.
- Clubs. Memberships to societies that do not meet and never will.
- Limited. Short runs. When they are gone, they stay gone.
One note
Pinned is a fictional brand built as a web-development demonstration. Nothing here is for sale, no orders are fulfilled, and checkout is a mock flow.
Adding to cart, saving pins, and checkout all work. They just live in your browser. Treat it as a shop that happens not to sell anything.

Occasional emails: new pins, restocks, and the odd Pinboard piece.
