Creative Cockades is a business that was born out of a fun hobby! I've always been a history buff, and in the early 2000s I became a Civil War reenactor as well. As I prepared for the 2010 week-long observances of the Firing on Fort Sumter, I began researching secession cockades. This led to researching cockades of all eras. I became fascinated with the stories behind each cockade - the person who sewed it, the person who wore it. When friends started asking for the cockades as well, my shop was born!
I hope as you look through my website and shop and read my blog that you will see a little of the beauty and drama of these lovely little bits of history! I write a weekly "Cockade Column" for those who want to hear more of the stories and images of cockades. Sign up here. It's free and I promise not to spam you! :)
