3. Pin Badge Keepsakes: A Heritage Reimagined

Enamel pins are where it all began for Wild Things owner Jules Vahrman in the 1970s, and our new collections bring that heritage full circle. Our new Pretty Little Pins feature 12 charming designs, from hedgehogs and sausage dogs to bees and robins, each piece taps into a sense of nostalgia and universal appeal.

Mounted on premium pastel-toned cards with thoughtful Wild Things quotations, the pins are presented in a branded bamboo display stand. Available as a ready-to-go starter pack, it’s a seamless addition to any retail space. Our popular Guardian Angel Pins in 12 birthstone colours have been given a similar glow up, with new pastel backing cards and their own bamboo display stand.
