I love hats. I set out to make a custom hat for myself that met some very specific criteria. When I couldn't decide on a patch for the front of the hat, one of my kids said, "You should make the patch interchangeable, and then you don't have to decide". I thought that was interesting, and my maker wheels started turning and it led me down a path.
So, meet Hatjoy, the Interchangeable Emoji Hat. Express yourself in different ways with a single hat. Collect and trade patches with your friends too. You can use code "PRODUCTHUNT" for a discount at checkout.

This could easily be turned into a collectibles-type product, similar to KidRobot. Release "blind" bags of patches and make some more rare than others. I could see this turning into a fad, if done right.
@jadojodo Yes!! The idea is that people only need one hat, but they can build a collection of patches. We plan to offer some rare limited edition patches and thought of the "mystery" patch idea as well. The business model for this was inspired by "Shopkins" which my kids are obsessed with. Thx for the feedback!

@joshbarkin I haven't heard of Shopkins, but I would encourage you to check out the Kidrobot site and perhaps order a blind box to get an idea of the possibilities.

Oh that's a great idea 👏 👏 👏
We would love to wear some @ our PH Meetups in France if you could add the PH emoji made by @zenlyapp team :
@tobiasvogels Thanks so much. 🍕 is actually in the next batch. It almost made launch. Maybe I'll set up a page to upvote emoji patches and help us prioritize rollout of the collection.
