🎉 What We Made Together

Collaboration makes everything more fun.

Books & Banter is a bookish and snarky themed campaign that is perfect for bibliophiles and enthusiasts. You'll find a little bit of everything in this campaign for the bookishly inclined including your favorite tropes, mythical creatures, snarky bookish phrases and more. Let's take a journey into the pages!

We use a variety of different pin effects on our designs to give them interest and depth. These are the kinds of effects you can expect to see on some of our designs during this campaign:

Pearl enamel: a fine glitter enamel to create a subtle shine.
Pearl swirl: hand-swirled pearl enamel to create a wispy, smoky effect.
Clear glass: to give the appearance of glass on the cloches and lanterns, clear epoxy is used instead of a filled enamel color.
Stained glass: also epoxy, this has the appearance of stained glass and can appear in a variety of different colors.
Pearl ombre: a combination of multiple pearl paint colors layered in a gradient effect.

Standard vs. Premium Pins

Standard Pins: between 1.5" to 1.75" in size with effects like pearl swirl, pearl enamel or glitter.
Premium Pins: between 1.75" to 2" in size with more complicated effects like clear stained glass or 3D molded metal.

Coming in March 2026: Autumn Villages

In July of 2025, we launched Victorian Villages, a campaign in which you could create your own enamel pin village. For this campaign, we figured why not make the Village seasonal? This campaign will use some of the buildings from Victorian Villages (library, cafe, bookshop, etc.) and a couple new additions to allow you to create your very own enamel pin Autumn Village. We'll have accompanying autumnal and spooky pins as well including animals, mythical creatures, and mini filler pins.
