1912
Our story
This is who we are
On 28 November 1912, Ismail Qemali raised the red flag with the black double-headed eagle in Vlorë as Albania declared its independence. The design traces back to Skanderbeg, the 15th-century national hero.
More than a century later, the eagle still says the same thing. We put it on things you can wear every day.
