It is ideal for craft projects, sewing, or artistic creations, as well as for collectors who appreciate unique vintage items. The history behind these ribbons is quite fascinating. In the past, French children frequently participated in outdoor activities. To prevent their clothes from getting mixed up with others, parents would embroider their child's initials or numbers onto clothing for identification. This set includes three different monogrammed ribbons, each bearing unique letters or numbers, representing a piece of everyday French history: ✔ Yellow floral box – Monogram EJ ✔ Yellow box – Monogram HT ✔ Orange box – Number 133 While the outer boxes show signs of age, the ribbons inside remain unopened and in pristine condition. They are perfect for various creative applications, including hand embroidery, personalised clothing designs, and vintage-style decorations, adding a touch of French craftsmanship and nostalgia to your work. Personalized embroidery has long been a part of French tradition. From the early to mid-20th century, many families embroidered initials or family crests onto clothing, linens, and handkerchiefs to indicate ownership and prevent mix-ups. This practice was especially common in schools and boarding houses. Today, these monogrammed ribbons are not only a symbol of French vintage culture but also highly sought after by craft enthusiasts and collectors.
