Introducing April’s Lucky Cat Cafe pin - Melon Pan! Melon pan is a popular Japanese sweet bread with a soft, fluffy interior and a crunchy cookie-like crust. The crust usually resembles a melon’s rind from the criss-cross pattern scored on top, thus the name “melon” pan! As we’re ending the Sakura Season in Japan, I thought it would be appropriate to have pink melon pans! Traditionally, it doesn’t contain melon, but modern variations often add melon flavoring, chocolate, or fillings like custard and bean paste. Pink melon pans are typically strawberry or sakura flavored! It’s commonly found in Japanese bakeries and convenience stores and is very similar to Mexican conchas and Hong Kong Pineapple buns!

LIMITED EDITION 150! Max of 2 per person! Once sold out, they will NOT be restocked!

Pins are in-hand, ready to ship!

    GRADING SYSTEMS:

    As all of my products are handmade, I do not claim that they are PERFECT. I have created grading systems in order to express possible imperfections you may find in order to be fully transparent about the quality of my products. Each product in my shop is carefully inspected and categorized with this grading system in place. Grades are also highly subjective, but I do pride myself with having a very strict grading system as I am a fellow collector of pins and am very picky!

    PIN GRADING SYSTEM:

    Pin Grading System was created by Pinny Planet to specifically address the quality of pins. (If you are a creator who'd like to use my grading scale on their own page, feel free to use this grading scale with credit!)

    Due to the nature of enamel pins, I do not advertise that my pins are FLAWLESS or PERFECT. Enamel pins are handmade, as the enamel is filled by hand meticulously and polished by hand. Pins can be close to FLAWLESS, but in my experience of making pins since 2017, it is nearly impossible to get an absolute FLAWLESS pin. With that being said, I guarantee the best quality for my pins. I aim for my products to be as close to FLAWLESS as they can be. Quality is at the forefront of my shop, and I am extremely picky with the pins that I release in my shop. I do not sell anything that I wouldn't purchase myself!

    Grading system only applies to the front of the pin. Metal backstamps are likely to exhibit flaws, as the pins are constantly moved and placed on their backs on a variety of surfaces during production

    A Grade (Standard Grade): The best pins of the batch, they are free of major defects and closest to what a “perfect” pin can look like. They are still subject to minor imperfections. These minor imperfections can only be seen if angled in a specific way and looked at very closely. Minor imperfections are barely noticeable and may consist of a minor scratch, tiny dark spec, glitter spec, small screenprint imperfection, and metal plating defect. They’re either “perfect” or close to “perfect.” I recommend A Grade pins for collectors who are very attentive to their pins and prefer the best of the best.

    B Grade: These pins will exhibit minor imperfections that may or may not be noticeable when the pin is angled in a specific way and/or looked at very closely. These imperfections will be much more noticeable in general than A Grade pins. Minor imperfections may consist of a minor scratch, low enamel fill, tiny dent, slight enamel overspill, glitter spec, small screenprint imperfection, and metal plating defect. I recommend B Grade pins for collectors who don't mind a minor flaw that's not very noticeable unless you look for the flaw.

    C Grade: These pins will exhibit minor imperfections that will be noticeable when inspected. These imperfections will be much more noticeable in general than A or B Grade pins. Minor imperfections may consist of a minor scratch, low enamel fill, tiny dent, slight enamel overspill, glitter spec, small screenprint imperfection, and metal plating defect (excluding backs). I recommend C Grade pins for collectors who don't mind noticeable minor flaws to their pins. I also recommend C Grade pins for every day wear and tear since they’re discounted.

    Note: I do NOT sell pins with extreme low enamel fill, mistakes in enamel, deep scratches, misaligned screenprint, broken posts, air bubbles, gauges, big overspills, noticeable flaws on faces, missing enamel, etc. I do NOT sell pins that I don't feel comfortable selling to the pin community. I guarantee that ALL pins sent to buyers have been closely looked at individually - but sometimes I may miss something or we may not agree. If you feel that there was a mistake with your pin or you do not agree with the pin you've received, please read my Exchange Policy below! I have never encountered an issue with a buyer feeling that their pin was majorly flawed. Quality is EVERYTHING to me, and I do NOT want to misrepresent my designs with poor quality pins. Pins that I do not deem sellable will NOT be sold.
