Brandenburger Limburg appliqués are embroidered iron-on appliqués in the shape of a decorative brandenburger button, with striped loops in red, yellow and green. They are intended for women and men who want to give their carnival jacket or tunic a Limburg accent without needle and thread. In the middle is a red, round button, and on both sides two loops curl outwards like a bow.

Where does the brandenburger as a decoration come from?
A brandenburger is an ornamental cord closure, with loops and a button, that you know from old uniform jackets and hussar jackets. On carnival clothing, that shape returns on the jackets of associations and garde, because it immediately gives a jacket a festive, ceremonial appearance. These appliqués bring that image to your own clothes in red, yellow and green, the colours you encounter everywhere during the Limburg carnival.
Brandenburger appliqués to wear in the parade or the café
Place the two pieces at the same height on the chest of a plain jacket, so that the loops point outwards and the whole thing looks like a real closure. On a dark background, the red-yellow-green stripes stand out the most, which is visible from afar in a busy parade. If you go into the café in the evening, a single brandenburger on a tunic or vest already makes your outfit recognisable as a carnival look.
Choose these brandenburgers in red, yellow and green and your carnival jacket immediately wears the colours of the Limburg celebration.
