EC 1/5 Vendée — Orange-Caritat Air Base 115

The squadron next door: 15+ orders at the foot of Mont Ventoux

Project gallery

The brief

It's the squadron next door — and a page of history. Created in 1949, stood down in 2007, fighter squadron 1/5 “Vendée” was reactivated on 18 July 2024 at Orange-Caritat Air Base 115, at the foot of Mont Ventoux, with the rebirth of the 5th Fighter Wing and some twenty brand-new Rafales. Our workshop is fifteen minutes from the base: proofs get approved face-to-face and boxes are delivered by hand. Orders have kept coming ever since: the spring goodies pack (patches, “EC 1/5 Vendée” lanyards and tees), 400 PVC patches for Ramstein Flag 2026, the ZARA and EAU 88 runs, alert patches shipped to overseas ops (CHAM 67 and 71), the “Drones Hunters”, patches for the SPA 124 and SPA 26 flights, mugs, coins — right down to the base's M88 engine mechanics with patches and pennants of their own. While the 5th Wing writes its new history, we embroider ours next door.

ECE 1/30 Côte d'Argent

60th anniversary, Tiger Meet, Ramstein Flag — 20+ orders

2,500+ pieces since 2025 · PVC, woven, sublimation, mugs, leather, apparel

The French Air Force operational test squadron at Mont-de-Marsan is our most active customer: twenty-plus orders since 2025. The highlight: the Ramstein Flag 2025 pack — NATO's flagship air exercise run by Allied Air Command out of Leeuwarden Air Base (Netherlands), nearly 90 aircraft from 15 nations. For the Rafale deployment, the squadron ordered the round campaign patch (Frisian windmills, four climbing Rafales, the participating nations' flags) moulded in PVC, plus name tapes for the detachment's maintainers and pilots. On top of that: the unit's 60th anniversary (patches, Rafale and Mirage 2000 mugs), the Tiger Meet and its pennants, TANAGRA, theatre patches (a “Black Cat” run shipped to overseas ops, a glow-in-the-dark TBM patch) and full packs of patches, leather name tapes and tees. When a design takes off, we relaunch an identical run — mould kept on file.

BA 116 Luxeuil-Saint-Sauveur

Mirage 2000's 40th anniversary + AIR RAID airshow

2,500+ pieces over two seasons · PVC + embroidered pennants

Two highlights for Luxeuil air base. First, the Mirage 2000's 40th anniversary: 800 commemorative patches in a numbered edition (each piece individually numbered out of 500), and over 1,000 anniversary “Mirage 2000” keychain flames, sold through in successive waves across the season. Then the AIR RAID airshow: 700 event patches delivered across three restocks — the first run of 100 sold out so fast the base reordered 300, then another 300. The classic pattern for big base events: a prudent first print, mould and artwork kept ready, and every restock launched into production the day the order lands.

EC 1/3 Navarre

Coins, pins, SPA 153 & tricolour pennants

800+ pieces across 6 orders · Enamel metal, 3D PVC, embroidery

The squadron's heritage association keeps unit traditions alive through regular runs: metal coins struck in the squadron's colours, a series of enamel pins, SPA 153 patches in standard and name versions, Mirage 2000 patches with silhouettes and matching keychains, and 300 pennants in three colours — blue, red, pink. Six orders delivered, usually built around a squadron event (change of command, commemoration), with proofs approved in 48 hours and one constant demand: staying faithful to the historic crest, down to the embroidery thread.
