We make serious & silly pins, buttons, stickers & stationery that help people share who they are & what's on their mind, with the world around them.
Our collections highlight politics, social justice, being queer, chronic illness, books, reading, cats, cannabis, food & more. WORD FOR WORD buttons help folks speak out about injustice, even when they're exhausted.
We're a small queer + sick owned & operated brand, known for our Social Alert Buttons. We've been making original pinback button designs for over 13 years! Join us in speaking up for liberation & speaking out against injustice!
When you place a WORD FOR WORD FACTORY order you can count on SUPERIOR QUALITY from product to packaging. Our buttons are designed, printed, punched, pressed & packaged in our Los Angeles studio as are our hot foil stationery & laser cut acrylics. We care deeply about consistent high quality craftsmanship & make it a priority every single day.
GIVING BACK is a foundation of our brand. We donate a portion of our proceeds to social justice organizations that center & support women, queer, trans, black & brown lives. Donation information is detailed in applicable product listings. Help us break our donation record!
WORD FOR WORD FACTORY is the studio offshoot of Los Angeles based interdisciplinary artist Nicole C. Russell, who's been working with color & language, and questioning life under capitalism, for 20 years.
