NOISSUE ECO PACKAGING ALLIANCE – shopnevernotready

Nice to meet you! My name's Ella and I am the owner and designer of Quinn's Pins. I started this little corner of the internet back in 2018 with one enamel pin. Since then I have created many more products and love to share my business journey over on Instagram!

Why Did We Start?

Quinn's Pins bloomed back in 2018 when I decided to put my illustration skills into product design. I began collecting enamel pin badges on my lanyard at my part time retail job. I liked to collect pins that I could relate to, but to my dismay there were no cheese enamel pins on the market (I loved cheese!) So, after an intense amount of research and doodling, I designed my first cheese themed enamel pin and worked with a manufacturer to bring it to life. I worked to market my products, started up an Instagram and invested every sale back into the shop in order to make more products!

How Do We Create?

All of the products are designed by myself in my home studio. This means that you won't find any of my products anywhere else, other than our official online retailers - Etsy and Not on the Highstreet. Like with any products, sometimes these are copied and counterfeits are sold. I am always working hard to get these taken down, however it is always appreciated that my customers shop with myself instead and supporting small businesses!
