Peru Flag Patch

Description

Proudly display your heritage or appreciation for Peru with our Peru Flag Patch. This embroidered badge features the iconic national flag of the Republic of Peru, a powerful symbol of its independence, its rich history, and its enduring national pride.

The Peru banner is a vertical tricolour, consisting of three equal bands of red (hoist side), white (middle), and red (fly side). At the very center of the white band, the National Coat of Arms of Peru is prominently displayed. The red stripes symbolize the blood shed by those who fought for Peru’s independence and represent the courage and valor of its people. Legend has it that the colors were chosen by General José de San Martín, who was inspired by a flock of flamingos with red wings and white breasts. The white central stripe signifies peace, purity, and justice.

The National Coat of Arms, centrally placed, is a rich and historically significant emblem. It features a shield divided into three fields:
The upper left field displays a vicuña (a llama-like animal native to the Andes) on a light blue background, symbolizing the fauna and the rich animal life of Peru.
The upper right field shows a cinchona tree on a white background, representing the flora and the medicinal wealth of the country.
The lower field depicts a cornucopia overflowing with golden coins on a red background, symbolizing the mineral wealth and prosperity of Peru. The shield is flanked by a palm branch (symbolizing peace and victory) and a laurel branch (symbolizing glory and triumph), tied together with a red and white ribbon. This harmonious blend of colors and meaningful symbols creates a fabric emblem that vividly articulates Peru’s profound historical narrative, its rich natural resources, and its aspirations for a sovereign and prosperous future. The current flag, with the coat of arms, was officially adopted on February 25, 1825.
Our Peru mini flag patches measure 1.5″ x 2.5″ (approximately 3.8 cm x 6.3 cm), making them an ideal size for personalizing a wide range of apparel items. Each patch comes with an iron-on backing for quick and easy initial application to most fabrics. However, for the most secure and permanent attachment, especially on garments that will be frequently washed or endure heavy use, sew-on installation is highly recommended. This ensures your Peru flag badge remains firmly in place for years to come.

Whether you’re a traveler, a collector, or simply a proud citizen, our national flag patches are the perfect way to express yourself.
