Purveyors of pins, patches, art, and fashion made their out to the west side of New York City on Saturday for Patches & Pins Expo (P&P), sponsored by Culture Club, Kneehigh Horror, Johnny Cupcakes, Rockstar Energy Drink, and Heisman Legends. Started in 2015 and billed as the nation's largest flare event, P&P has become an essential platform for connecting pin and patch makers with their fans customers by incorporarting an expanding array of exhibitors.
The expo had a little something for everyone: pins, prints, patches, stickers, bags, clothing, apparel, accessories, and even customized home goods – either original art or artisitc homages to well-known and beloved characters from television, movies, cartoons, and anime… even from literature! And let's just say that pin display bags do tend to be a weakness…
Before you check out our photo gallery below, special thanks to a number of exhibitors who worked with us to put this together: Tom Ryan Studio, Casual Mojo, Johnny Cupcakes, The Pin Cartel, NattyCat, Trippy Pins, Alexandra Beguez, MrMauro/Coffin Couture, Loudmouth Threads, Mike Olson Art, 2 Wishes Apparel, JesseJFR, Vivant Vintage, Zukie Art, Wepa! Flan, Inkrement Apparel, and many others.
On a personal note, the location of the event was a major bonus: the 46th Street area offered a ton of tasty-looking places to eat – so a special shout-out to Beer and Cheese for a delicious tour of four quality beers, pita bread with four dips, and an amazing chorizo sandwich. Not a bad way to wrap-up the day…
