PIN MUSEUM
BRIEF
Launch the Pin Museum Brand to stir the art world, navigating partnerships with notable licenses, collaborating with acclaimed designers, and crafting a brand appealing to both niche DTC markets and museum gift shops.
SOLUTION
We adopted a straightforward, fun approach. Starting with enamel pins infused with art history, we expanded into hats, keychains, and more. The result? A hit among artists, enthusiasts, educators, and the eccentrics.

Masterpieces in Miniature
Art nerds, assemble! We created a brand that is a delightful blend of sophistication and playfulness. Our aim? Kickstart conversations, reflect our artistic passions, and reach out to our fellow art nerds. From mini versions of "The Mona Lisa" and "The Starry Night" to licensed works from our cherished artists like Tom of Finland and Tamara de Lempicka, we've poured our hearts into each product. Adding a slice of humor, we also crafted amusing products with witty phrases like "I Arted" and "Kitsch My Ass." The Pin Museum Brand is our love letter to art, its history, and its inherent humor.
ICONIC Wearable ArtWORK
Envision this: your favorite art history masterpieces, now transformed into wearable art. We've taken those iconic works that left a lasting impression and turned them into products that tell stories. We're paying tribute to our artistic heroes and heroines who've inspired us through the years. Our approach is unabashedly inventive.
COLLABORATIONS
We've been spinning tales with threads and wicks, joining forces with our design counterparts to conjure up products that honor and evolve our brand's story. Envision van Gogh patches that read "Express Yourself," courtesy of the brilliant Cody Weiler. Imagine candles that smell like surrealism (yes, you read that right), a fragrant collaboration with Book Nook Candles. And let's not forget a "No Flash Photography" pin, the brainchild of Kevin Dresser, the genius behind MoMA's signage. We're not just creating products; we're crafting narratives.
Art Meets Innovation
Our journey of product expansion has been a thrilling ride, driven by innovation. From keychains to hats, each new product is a fresh challenge that we relish, fueled by our dedication to quality.
GLOBETROTTING
Art history is on a world tour, thanks to our fabulous fans. They're taking our pins to museums, comparing these miniatures to the grand works that inspired them. It's as though we're along for the ride, visiting all our favorite museums worldwide.
