A pin may seem small, but it makes a clear statement. In our Gothic pin collection, you'll find enamel pins featuring ghosts, paranormal symbols, bats, coffins, and occult details that will transform your jacket, robe, or tote bag into a personal dark art manifesto.
Why a Gothic pin completes your outfit

Unlike mass-produced items from generic shops, at EASURE you'll find Gothic pins that perfectly complement our entire world of Gothic jewelry , Gothic shirts , and hand-printed organic textiles. Your pin won't blend into the colorful array of styles, but will instead express Dark Art, the occult, and an anti-fascist stance.

Our pins aren't just nice little freebies, but small, portable shrines . Typical of our lapel pins:
Consistent dark motifs – coffins, pentagrams, ghosts, bats, occult sigils, dark humor

Stable metal base – e.g. copper, zinc or brass alloys with enamel inlays
Secure closures – pin-backs with butterfly or rubber clutches to keep your favorite item attached to jackets, vests, and bags.

Enamel lapel pin: Material, quality and look
Many of our Gothic pins are made of metal with enamel . This combination ensures:
Rich colors and strong contrast – ideal for white ghosts on a black background, red blood details or purple accent areas.
Smooth, durable surface – enamel protects the design and gives it a sophisticated, almost glass-like shine.
Precise lines – metal edges clearly delineate surfaces, perfect for fine dark art motifs
Typical structure of an enamel lapel pin:

Metal base
Shape, symbol, contours of the Gothic pin
Enamel filling
Colored areas, e.g., black, blood red, phantom white
Galvanized edges
Available in silver, black, gunmetal or antique gold

This material quality complements the durable, hand-printed organic cotton textiles in our Gothic clothing range . You're not wearing disposable accessories, but pieces that will last you a long time.
How to best wear your lapel pin
A lapel pin can be placed in many locations. Here are some ideas from the scene:
Jacket collar or lapel

Ideal for subtle mini-statements in the office or at family celebrations.
Leather jacket, battle jacket or denim vest
Mix pins with Gothic patches for a rough, personal look.
Backpacks & Bags
Add Gothic pins to straps or bag flaps; combine with Gothic bags and gym bags.
Beanies & Caps

How do you use a pin?
Choose the location: sturdy fabric such as denim, canvas, faux leather or thick hoodie fabric
Insert the pin through the fabric from the outside in.
Place the closure (butterfly or rubber clutch) onto the prong from the back.
Check the seat: give it a short pull until everything is secure.
Tip: For particularly heavy or large pins, our accessories in the Pin Fasteners category are suitable to increase the hold.
Lapel pin for women, men and everyone in between
Gothic thrives on diversity and gender fluidity. At EASURE, a women's pin is no different from pins for men or nonbinary fans.
You combine your Gothic pins:
with Gothic tights from the Gothic tights collection for striking club looks
creative upcycling projects with old jackets and bags
DIY gifts for friends from the Gothic, Metal or Punk scene
Collections that grow over the years and tell your story
Pin on suit or lapel: Dark Elegance
You're wearing a suit, but you don't want to leave your soul at the door? Then a lapel pin on your suit is the perfect balance between dress code and rebellion.
Tips:
Use small, black or silver Gothic pins with clear symbols (e.g. coffin, bat, cross, subtle pentagram)
Attach the pin to the lapel , i.e., the collar of the jacket or coat.
Combine it with simple Gothic rings and a dark tie or a narrow choker.
This way your look remains formal, but still conveys your affiliation with the dark side.
Care and durability of your Gothic pin
To keep your enamel pin shining for a long time, please note:
Store in a dry place – moisture and sweat damage any metal alloy.
Avoid excessive rubbing – denim and faux leather are very durable, but avoid constant rubbing against metal parts (e.g. belts, rivets).
Remove before washing – take your Gothic pins off hoodies, shirts and jackets before washing.
Check closures – regularly inspect butterfly or rubber clutches and replace them if necessary (replacements can be found under pin closures ).
Enamel is resistant to everyday wear and tear. With a little care, your pin will accompany you through many nights, festivals, and club visits.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lapel Pins & Gothic Pins
FAQ about lapel pins, Gothic pins and styling
How do you use a pin correctly?
To attach a **pin**, insert it through the fabric from the outside and secure it from the inside with a clasp. Choose a sturdy surface such as denim, canvas, faux leather, or the thicker layer of a hoodie. Gently pull on the Gothic pin until it's secure. For heavier enamel pins, use sturdy butterfly or rubber clutches, which you can find in our Pin Clasps category.
How does one wear a badge of honor or lapel pin in Gothic style?
A **lapel pin** is traditionally worn on the left lapel of a suit jacket, coat, or blazer. You can adopt this tradition and instead wear a subtle Gothic lapel pin featuring a coffin, bat, or pentagram. Position the pin just below the collar, align it vertically, and combine it with a dark tie, choker, or Gothic necklace for an elegant, dark look.
What exactly is a lapel pin?
A lapel pin is a special type of badge worn on the lapel of a jacket or coat. Traditionally, it displays club affiliation, medals, or logos. In the EASURE context, you replace the crest with a Gothic motif: ghosts, paranormal-inspired symbols, coffins, or occult signs. This combines classic wearability with a distinctly dark statement.
What is another name for a lapel pin?
A lapel pin goes by various names depending on the context: pin, enamel pin, button (in the case of round versions with a pin), lapel pin, or lapel pin. In the Gothic scene, terms like "Gothic Pin," "Occult Pin," or "Dark Art Pin" appear. At EASURE, you'll find these pins in the Lapel Pin / Pin collection, where all variations are curated together.
Is a lapel pin suitable for crafting and upcycling?
Yes. A **craft pin** is perfect for DIY and upcycling projects. You can redesign old denim jackets, backpacks, or hoodies, combine Gothic pins with patches , and create unique pieces. The clasp allows you to change the layout at any time without sewing. For structured craft projects, a pinboard is ideal for grouping ghosts, paranormal motifs, and occult symbols by theme.
Which pin goes well with Gothic outfits for festivals?
For festivals, robust enamel pins with clear, high-contrast designs such as coffins, bats, pentagrams, or Ouija boards are ideal.

Combine them with our Gothic tights , chokers , and rings to ensure your look remains consistent throughout any Gothic festival, metal open-air event, or dark club night.
Are there special lapel pins for women?

The designs range from subtle ghosts and paranormal symbols to intense horror motifs – you choose what reflects your personality.
