What’s not to love about mid century pins? Enamel pins are fun to collect, display and wear—and a great way to showcase your love of retro style. If that’s you, allow us to introduce you to our friend Victoria Pater of Mid Mod Pins.
From Victoria:
The Mid Mod Pin collection has grown out of reflection on past and ongoing personal adventures: from childhood visits to my grandparents in Palm Springs, to a misguided yet thrilling journey on a scooter in Taiwan, to meandering road trips with my sisters throughout the Midwest where we mapped out midcentury modern architecture along the way. Mid Mod Pins are also an homage to the intricate level of detail that the midcentury era embodies. Zooming in 500% to illustrate the eyebrows on a Tiki mug may seem ridiculous to some, but I’m devoted to quality with a capital Q.

Swiss Miss, $12
A little bit Polynesian, a little bit Alpine, the Swiss Miss is a signature of the Palm Springs aesthetic. I never miss a chance to get a good ogling of them while on a trip to the midcentury mecca. ?? That’s why I want everyone to Ti-ki home this slice of the hottest roofline in midcentury architecture!

Old Fashioned, $12
What’s one trip we’d all like to take? The one where we go back in time to the era when cocktail carts wheeled freely around the office. As with so many brilliant creative endeavors, Don Draper (total jerk-babe) definitely had a hand in the making of this Cocktail Club✨ Series pin.

A-Frame Cabin, $12
Haven’t you always wanted your own little cabin in the woods? This little gem was inspired by the search for mine, during a sisterly bonding weekend in Silver Lake, Michigan. ? The Preway fireplace and sunset view details really make this one the tops!
