Yes, this is officially licensed merchandise.
Can I wash the garment with the pin attached?
No, you should always remove the pin before washing the garment to prevent damage to your machine or the fabric.
What material is the pin made from?

Does it come with a storage case?

Is the backing secure?

Troubleshooting
The pin keeps rotating or hanging upside down.
Ensure the butterfly clutch is pushed as far as it can go to compress the fabric tightly against the pin base. If the fabric is too thin, add a small piece of heavy interfacing or felt behind the fabric to add thickness.
The metal back is tight or difficult to remove.
Do not pull the butterfly clutch; pinch the two small wings on the sides of the clutch simultaneously to release the locking mechanism from the pin stem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the pin, simply remove the butterfly clutch from the back, press the pin through the desired fabric, and re-attach the clutch securely. This pin is unisex in design and compatible with most textiles. To care for your pin, avoid direct contact with water or perfume, as these can cause the metallic finish to tarnish. If the pin becomes dusty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place to maintain the luster of the blue-toned finish.
