Patches & Pins

Streetwear Roots in Northern Sweden

Patches & Pins emerged from the passion of founders deeply embedded in Sweden's streetwear culture, particularly the snowboard and skateboard communities of Norrland. With decades of experience, they developed their own brands that left a mark on the local scene before launching this retail concept. The Umeå location in Avion Shopping embodies their commitment to creativity, offering a space where customers can explore headwear and accessories that reflect personal style and regional flair.

Curated Collection of Headwear and Apparel

The store stocks an exclusive range of products, focusing on caps in styles like trucker, curved baseball, snapbacks, and fitted models. Beanies, hoodies, and T-shirts complement the selection, sourced from premium brands such as Stetson, Capslab, and Penumbra. Each item is chosen to add a colorful, distinctive touch, allowing shoppers to filter by favorite cap types for effortless discovery. This thoughtful curation sets it apart in Umeå's retail landscape.

Avion Shopping Center Hub

Nestled within Avion Shopping at Marknadsgatan 3, Patches & Pins benefits from the center's bustling environment. The store's layout invites browsing amid a mix of fashion outlets, making it a natural stop for those seeking standout pieces. Its position enhances accessibility, drawing in locals and visitors exploring the expansive mall with its array of shops and seasonal events.

Brand Philosophy and Expansion

Driven by mottos like "follow your heart, work hard," the team at Patches & Pins prioritizes innovation and giving back to streetwear heritage. From Umeå, the concept has grown to multiple locations across northern Sweden, including Sundsvall, Gävle, and Östersund, with plans for further reach. This expansion underscores their dedication to providing quick delivery and unique offerings nationwide.
