Genuine red sailor pompom
€11.50
Tax included
Entirely handmade in France at an EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) certified facility, this pompom is the original found on French sailors' "bachis".
Description
This ornament, which has been worn on sailors' berets since the second half of the 19th century, was given a reputation for good luck by the sailors themselves: these inventive characters had found a way to approach young girls in the various ports they visited.
This pompom is held in place by a pin system, so you can hang it wherever you like, whether traditionally on a headdress, or in a more original way on a shirt, a sailor's hat or the lapel of a jacket.
