11 Patches And Pins For Smashing The Patriarchy

I don’t know about you, but I’m still wearing a broken “smashing ceilings” election pin that a friend found abandoned on the ground in the early hours of November 9th, which I forlornly attached to my coat. It’s probably about time for a new one.

Fortunately there will be plenty of stylin’ patches and pins to offer at BUST’s 11th Annual Craftacular in Brooklyn on December 10th and 11th. The two-day event will be full of jewellery, art, t-shirts, stationery, food, music, and of course feminist memorabilia so you can effectively designate yourself a feminist to the world.

Here are a few of our favourite feminist pins and patches from some of the amazing vendors you will find at the BUST Craftacular. Make sure you check out the full list of vendors here– badge lovers shouldn’t miss Girl Pin Gang, a collective of around 60 women and gender-queer pin and patch makers, who will be with us in Brooklyn on December 10th.

1. My Cup of Tea pin by Modern Girl Blitz

2. Don’t Tell Me to Chill pin by Life Wife Press
