Punky Pins gives voice to authenticity, opinion and joyful irreverence through a mix of witty pins, patches and fun practical accessories. Founded in 2005 by Claire Whaite, Punky Pins was accidentally born from an adventure with a kid’s badge making machine. With the results of Claire’s playful hobby selling like hot cakes on eBay and MySpace (*sigh*), she decided to upgrade to a professional machine, team up with a graphic designer and launch the Punky Pins empire. With Punky Pins, cat jokes and playground innuendos are no longer a secret giggle had when no one’s looking - but a fast - growing language of self - expression and connection for individuals across the world.
