House parties with friends was one of the things I missed most through lockdown(s), so it was a joy to make a pin that celebrates the feeling of a big summer day drifting into an all-night party. Inspired by spontaneous parties, trips away with friends, and long summer days falling into nights, Endless Summer comes with its own specially designed backing card.

· 47mm wide (when closed)
· Triptych style enamel pin
· A whopping 18 colours
· Magnets to keep the doors closed on the party
· Screenprinted Orson Welles portrait
· Embossed with the Mink x Melissa Malone logo
· Guaranteed good time

About the Artist:

Melissa Malone is an Irish Designer and Art Director for Animation. Her work is characterised by its playful use of shapes, colours and sense of atmosphere.

I met Melissa right after I moved to London in early 2019 and we’ve been friends since. This is actually our second collaboration - the first was an elaborate Leap Year party in 2020 where everyone came dressed as their childhood selves and we transformed my living room into a giant blanket fort with games.
