We may not be perfect, but that doesn't make us any less lovable!
Choose a mystery "bag" of 1, 3, 6, or 10 imperfect enamel pins.
Designs will be chosen randomly from my pile of available imperfects. They can be any of the currently available designs on my shop: from the self-love collection, winter collection, or potato collection. Within each bag, there will not be any duplicate designs.
Most will be regular-size ~1.5" pins. If mini pins are included (rare), then you will receive two in place of one.
Pin manufacturing is an intricate process that sometimes goes awry, resulting in pins with various imperfections and flaws. These pins are great for wearing on bags or backpacks, or even for display if you don't mind a few flaws in your collection. When I inspect the pins, I personally "grade" them based on how the flaws affect the overall look of the design. "A-Grade" pins are the ones sold as regular full-price pins.
These imperfect pins have mild to moderate visual flaws that came directly from production. Every pin is different so it's impossible to describe the exact imperfection you may get, but here's a general overview:
Mild flaws are noticeable up close (<24 inches away) or when tilted in a certain light, such as a tiny dot in the design or slight gray streaking.
Moderate flaws are noticeable from further away or somehow affect the overall look of the pin. For potatocorn pins, many moderate flaws involve moderate to severe gray streaks over the white of the potatocorn. Other potential flaws may involve small miscolored areas, trapped lint in the enamel, overfilled enamel, over-polished metal, missing areas in the gold plating, moderate scuffing on the metal, dark smudges on the enamel, etc.
All imperfect pins are still fully functional.
