I had this idea of writing the definitive guide to buying enamel pins online from indie illustrators and designers. Then, I realised that might be impossible considering the sheer, massive amount of enamel pins in the world right now.

There are some things that are purchased for fun or pleasure. There are many things are purchased because they are necessary. An essential tool for freelancers, digital creatives or anyone who needs daily access to a laptop are decent practical and sturdy laptop bags and sleeves.
