Vintage repurposed flags.
There is something quite magical I find about old flags. Where were they flown? What is their history? Each one is unique. Rather than let them rot away somewhere I transform them into beautiful blankets or cushions giving them a new lease of life.
They will be listed on my online shop when available.
Please contact me if there is a particular flag you are looking for. I do have a small selection that I have not made up yet.
WW2 Union Jack
A World War Two Union Jack Flag which is backed with navy polar fleece.
£275.
SOLD
Nautical Signal Flags
I found this set of complete cotton nautical signal flags that were in great condition as i don’t think that are very old. Guessing around the 70’s or 80’s? They are now this rather large blanket! The flags are sewn in order onto natural calico and then backed in a navy polar fleece.
£950
SOLD. I have another set to be made up. Please contact me if you are interested in this blanket.
Nautical signal code flag cushions.
I came across a set of nautical signal code flags that were last flown in 1945 on VE day. How amazing!
I have turned each linen flag into big cushions by backing them onto organic calico and using navy stripped ticking for the backing and piping. You can see the letter they represent on the heading tape. The rope I have left attached so it is your choice to keep it or remove it. Ideal for indoor or outdoor use but not to be left outdoors.
They measure 28inches by 20inches and take a standard pillow as a filler. (filler not included)
Please message me if there is a particular letter you are looking for as i do find individuals sometimes.
£105 each. incl p&p
Check out my shop to see which are still available.
