German states have existed in the area of Germany for nearly two thousand years. Cockade designs were eventually created for each German state and remained a method of identification even after the modern German nation was formed. The national cockade is now black, red and gold, and is often paired with the person's particular state cockade. This cockade is approximately 2.5" wide.

People in the past wore a cockade to tell a story about themselves. I love researching what those stories were and why people wanted to tell them. People today have stories to tell too, so that's what motivates me to keep making cockades! What's your story and how can I help you tell it better?
