Where You Can Find Our Literary Pins
From the beginning, I always imagined the pins living in bookstores.
Not just being sold there, but existing alongside books, on display tables, near the counter, quietly blending in with the space. Small objects that feel like they belong.
Over time, that idea has become something real.
Today, A Book to Wear is present in a growing number of independent bookstores, museum shops and cultural spaces across Europe.
Each of these places is different.
They have their own way of selecting, displaying and understanding the objects they carry, and that’s precisely what makes them the right context for the project.
Some of the Places Where You Can Find Us
Our pins are currently available in bookstores and cultural spaces that we genuinely admire, places where books, objects and ideas coexist naturally. Here some bookstores:
Each collaboration has come in its own way, often through direct contact, sometimes through recommendation, always with a shared interest in books and the objects that surround them.
How the Pins Exist in Bookstores
I don’t really think of the pins as “products” in the traditional sense.
In bookstores, they tend to work more like small extensions of the books themselves , something you pick up alongside a title, or something you notice while browsing.
They’re often chosen as gifts, or as a way to take a book with you in a different format.
Because of their size, they don’t require much space.
Because of what they represent, they tend to connect quite quickly.
Designed to Live Where Books Live
Every pin starts with a book, an author, or sometimes just a very specific moment in literature.
The idea is not to replicate the book, but to translate it into something minimal and recognisable, something that works both as an object and as a reference.
Over time, the collection has grown slowly, combining titles that have been there from the beginning with others added more recently.
In a bookstore context, they tend to sit somewhere between merchandise and something closer to a collectible object.
If You Run a Bookstore
If you run a bookstore, a museum shop or a space where books and objects coexist, and you feel the project could fit, you can apply for a wholesale account or get in touch to receive the catalog.
A Network That Keeps Growing
What I value most about this part of the project is the relationship with bookstores.
It’s not just about distribution — it’s about being part of spaces that care about what they display, how they display it, and who they are speaking to.
That’s where the pins make the most sense.
And that’s where they continue to grow.
