Scottish Thistle Leather Barrette

$20.00 – $30.00

We embossed our Scottish Thistle Leather Barrette with our interpretation of the Scottish Thistle. Inspired by the national symbol, it was adopted by Scots sometime before the 15th century as an enduring sign of their strength and resilience. Made from hand-selected top grain vegetable tanned leather, it comes in our classic hand-stain and has been distressed to give it an Old World feel. It measures 3 inches between stick holes.

Color may vary slightly due to the nature of the hand-rubbed stain.

Description

About the Scottish Thistle:
One legend surrounding the Scottish Thistle places invading Vikings under the command of the Norse king Haakon at the forefront of the Thistle’s locus in history. According to this legend, Haakon landed at the shore of a Scottish village in the cover of darkness. Leading his men silently through the fields to raid, they encountered an outgrowth of thistles. Unprepared for the tenacious and painful barbed stems, Haakon’s men quickly gave themselves away with their cries of pain. The Scottish villagers rallied to meet their foe, and the raid ended before it could begin.
