Spanish fair pins: the little extra for him
While you choose your shawl or earrings, the men have their own fair accessory too: a pin on the lapel. A sherry glass, a paper lantern, a fair booth… Among our flamenco accessories you will find enamel pins with the classic motifs of the Seville April Fair, just as good for any other fair, romería or local festival.
They are affordable pins, from €1.50. And if you need a larger quantity, for a whole fair booth, a club or a brotherhood, we offer special wholesale prices with up to 50% off.
The Seville Fair gateway pin
Every year the Seville April Fair unveils a new entrance gateway (the portada), and every year we make the portada pin with that year’s design. It is the most searched-for pin as soon as the gateway is presented, and some people keep one each year as a souvenir of every fair.
Types of pins
Fair pins
The ones you see everywhere at the fairground. The catavino (sherry glass) pin measures 3.5 x 1 cm, the fair booth (caseta) pin 3 x 2.5 cm, and the fair lantern comes in red and in green.
Bullfighting pins
For fans of the tradition: the capote (bullfighter’s cape) pin, 2 x 3.8 cm, and the montera (matador’s hat) pin, 2 x 3 cm.
Rociero pins
The rociero hat, in grey or camel, 3.3 x 2 cm, and the gold Virgen del Rocío pin, for those who go to El Rocío or want to wear the Virgin on their lapel.
Sevillian pins
Sevillian tile, orange blossom, guitar, Curro the flamenco mascot of Expo 92, the Seville pin and the Betis pin. They are among the smallest: the Betis pin measures 15 x 11 mm.
How they are made
All our fair pins are made in Seville. The sherry glass, the booth, the cape, the montera, the rociero hats and the Sevillian pins are made with 3D printing and a handcrafted finish, and the tile, orange blossom, guitar, booth, Curro, Seville and Betis pins also have an enamel finish that gives them colour and shine.
Where a fair pin is worn
On the lapel, on a suit jacket or a blazer: one pin and that’s it, it is the man’s accessory at the fair. And if you like, you can also wear it on your hat.
Pins as gifts
They are the easy gift for your husband, your children, grandad or friends in the fair booth. If you are shopping for your flamenco accessories, add a pin for each of them so everyone is ready for the fair.
Spanish fair pins FAQs
Are they only for the Seville Fair?
No. The sherry glass, lantern and booth are motifs of any Andalusian fair, and the rociero and bullfighting pins are worn at pilgrimages and all kinds of festivals.
Do you have this year’s gateway pin?
Every year we make the pin with the design of the new Fair gateway. You will find it on this same page.
What size are they?
They are small: from 1.5 cm up to about 4 cm, depending on the model. Each product page shows its exact size.
What is the difference between a pin and a brooch?
Size and use. A pin is small, fastens with a needle and is worn on the lapel. A brooch is larger and is mainly used to hold a flamenco shawl in place or decorate the dress.
