This past weekend, we attended the Patches and Pins expo at Metropolitan West in New York City. This marks the second Patches and Pins expo we've attended in New York, and our third Patches and Pins Expo total. As usual, we had a great time meeting so many new people! We were excited to meet some of our awesome customers in person. At our booth, we were offering information about creating custom patches and pins, as well as bunch of free pin samples for attendees. We had tons of rainbow metal pins, hummingbird patches, tiny cupcake pins, deer skulls, and dripping Stadri logos to hand out!
Since we sponsored the Patches and Pins Expo, we provided the official logo pins for the event. We handed out a free logo pin to each of the awesome vendors as well. It was exciting to talk to so many people who wanted to start making their own patch and pin designs. If you missed out on grabbing a pamphlet from us, you can take a look at our blog posts about making your first enamel pin and making your first embroidered patch.
The venue was packed with hundreds of attendees who were going from booth to booth looking for as many amazing pins as they could find.
Fox Flight Studios was there with sharing a table with Shelby Wolf Designs. We were happy to be able to put some faces to their patch and pin designs we've seen come through our office over the past few months! We also saw people of all ages attending the event and getting excited about collecting patches and pins! We always love to see vests filled with pins on people of any age!
After the event ended, we also liked seeing all of the pin and patch hauls being posted on Instagram! Here are some of our favorites:
