pinback buttons are often representations of different things the wearer is passionate about, and loves enough to display on their jacket. but a lot of the time pinback buttons are seen as a quick and easy way to cash in on people's passions, and often they can be cheaply printed, flimsy, and ill designed to fit best on a circle canvas. considering buttons might represent something you care a lot about, we think that it is important to show that same level of care when making the pin itself! here at bs pins, we care about making sure our pins have the most vibrant prints, fun special effects and just general pizzaz :) for example, all of the blacklight reactive pins are painstakingly hand painted to achieve the effect! we want to go the extra mile to ensure that when you order from backslide pins, you know you will be getting something that you can be proud to display. all of our pins are pressed with a durable metal backing, ensuring that it won't fall apart when you dive into the pit or the dance floor.

another aim of backslide pins is to host a variety of vintage reproduction pins available for purchase! often times vintage pins go for insane prices on the resell market, and even without that, it is easy for a pin to slip into the ether, and for the design to be lost forever. we aim to create high quality reproductions (often with added blacklight or holographic effects) so everyone can enjoy the vintage designs, 20 or 30 years after they were made!

all pins are made by hand in minneapolis by backslide's founder and single employee, greer c. you can catch her screaming in minneapolis hardcore punk rock n roll band, buio omega!
