These bags feature a clear outer pouch, keeping your pins safe from scratches, damage, or loss while still allowing them to be visible.

For a creative and unique twist, try using embroidery hoops to display your enamel pins. Whether you use fabric with pre-made designs or create your own custom background, these hoops add an artistic flair to your pin collection.

Lanyards

Lanyards are an easy, simple way to show off a few of your favorite pins. They’re especially popular for work or school, allowing you to keep your collection visible wherever you go. However, lanyards may not be ideal for larger collections, as they can become too heavy to wear comfortably.

Coats and Jackets
