NALA’S ARK Wooden Pin Badge

This is not your average pin badge. This is a journey that tells a story.

NALA’S ARK Wooden Pin Badges celebrate the heart of our story: rescue, adventure, and the animals who changed everything along the way. Crafted from sustainable wood, each badge features one of our original designs. We have two of Nala’s Ark logos and five animals rescued by us during mine and Nala’s travels around the world.

It all began with Nala. Found as an abandoned kitten, she was the start of the journey and the reason our charity exists. I decided to keep her, and as we travelled the world on our bike, we came across other animals who needed help along the road.

Each wooden pin comes mounted on its own illustrated backing card, telling a small part of the story. The illustrations are designed as a continuous scene so when the cards are lined up side by side, they connect to form one long journey, from mountain paths to coastal harbours, symbolising the places each of the animals was found. Nala, on the side of the mountain. Balou, discovered beneath an orange tree. Yasuki and Charlie, both found on the side of the road. Marley, rescued in Dunbar, featuring the harbour of our hometown. You can read their full stories on our NALA’S ARK website!

So whether you choose just one, or collect them all, you’re taking home a piece of the adventure.
