I’m addicted to enamel pins.

One day I was haplessly browsing the internet (full disclosure: I do this everyday), the next my collarbones are weighed down by the weight of my newfound addiction. I’m not alone.

They used to just be things your school gave you if you could swim 5m without embarrassing yourself for life, but now they come in all sorts of wonderful shapes, colours and fandoms. Ramsay Bolton’s severed head, a sock declaring your support for SPEW, Boromir giving walking tips – if enough people on the Internet like it, there’s probably a pin for it.

I’ve collated some of the best bookish enamel pins from around the Internet* below. Please share any cool ones you’ve found in the comments!

*Well, predominantly Etsy. God bless Etsy.
