TIPS FOR PIN PRESERVATION:

Avoid placing pins on bags, backpacks, purses, etc. They are easily engaged with outside elements & are many more times likely to break free & be lost forever. The best places for pins are: lapels, hats, jackets & shirts, or tops. The best place for a pin is the chest area, where it can be easily accounted for.

Remove your pin after each wear. If possible, this is always best practice. Get yourself a small cork board to put your pins on: they are ready at a glance & can be easily removed & reattached when you want.
