Matafs & Forçats Beanie by Fleurs de Bagne
The Bonnet Matafs & Forçats by Fleurs de Bagne is more than just a winter hat – it’s a piece of authentic history and symbolism. Inspired by the iconic red wool caps of French convicts in the 19th and early 20th centuries, this beanie embodies rich meaning and unique style.
Historical Background:
In French penal colonies (Bagnes), the color of wool caps indicated the length of a convict’s sentence: Red caps signified fixed-term sentences, while green caps marked those condemned to life imprisonment. These red beanies became symbols of endurance and even found their place in modern cultural contexts. Jacques-Yves Cousteau adopted the red beanie as his signature – a tribute to the convicts of Toulon who tested the first diving suits.
