Pin a pin on me

[Manhattan, NY shopping filter] I'm looking to buy an inexpensive [read cheap] red carnation pin in Manhattan this week. Where can I get it?
A friend and I will be seeing Hadestown this weekend, and we are both fans having seen the original production a few years ago. I know people are wearing red carnations and other fan-type stuff to the show, and I think we should participate.
I know I can get real or silk flowers, but I'd rather get a couple of flat lapel/collar/whatever pins that can be tucked away with the Playbill or saved in a jewelry box. Surely, there must be a store somewhere in Manhattan where I can buy us something. Do you know where that is? TIA

Strand near 14th street has a whole wall of pins. I'd go to check there first.

Pintrill has a brick-and-mortar store in (where else but) Williamsburg . I don't see anything that might be a carnation in the online store but you could call and see if they have anything that's not listed online.

I was just looking at the Strand pins and didn't notice a carnation, although of course I wasn't specifically looking for one.

Response by poster: I didn't see anything online at the Strand or Pintrill, either. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll head to 28th street and ask around.
