DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT (D&D) was founded by Mr. Yuichi Okubo in 1990 and commenced operations trading in stationary and other office related accessories before entering the Pin business in 1992.

D&D's head office is located in Minato ward Tokyo, Japan. They currently employee over 20 fulltime staff including design, sales and marketing.

In 1997, D&D established the brand name PINS FACTORY for all their original Pin products.

D&D is striving to promote the many aspects of Pins which make them such an internationally recognized and popular phenomenon.

We hope that our English website will broaden our Pin correspondence with both customers and collectors from around the world and help contribute to further increasing the understanding and enjoyment of both trading and collecting Pins.

Happy collecting...
