Napoleon's Bicorne bag at the Battle of Eylau
CH901463
This bag is inspired on the bicorne worn by Napoleon I during the Russian Campaign.
The "little hat" in plain beaver was originally a piece of military uniform. It was during the Consulate, between 1801 and 1804, that Napoleon definitively adopted this hat, which quickly became legendary. The shape may vary according to fashion, but the decoration always remains simplified, without braid, adorned simply with a small black silk strap and a button holding the cockade. The cocarde, in faded colors, is not regulation in size. Today, Napoleon's bicorne is the signature of his legend.
