Description
British Virgin Islands Flag
The flag of the British Virgin Islands was adopted in 1960. It has a red background, with the Union Flag in the top-left corner, as with the flags of other British territories.
The coat of arms of the British Virgin Islands is on the right of the flag. This features Saint Ursula holding a gold oil lamp and surrounded by eleven more lamps, representing her 11,000 virgin followers that the islands were named after by Christopher Colombus.
The motto beneath the coat of arms says Vigilate, which is Latin for ‘be watchful’.
Fabric choice
Knitted polyester – This is the most common flag fabric. Your flag will be digitally printed onto 115gsm quality knitted polyester.
Handsewn – Giving an extra touch of quality to your flagpole our handsewn flags are meticulously appliqued using 155gsm woven polyester by our team of seamstresses based in the UK. A handsewn flag is an investment so we would recommend adding anti-fray to help prolong the life of your flag. It provides extra protection to the hem to prevent fraying.
Eco-friendly option
Eco-friendly flag – This revolutionary fabric is made from recycled plastic items such as PET bottles and industrial polyester waste which has been melted down into chips, then spun into yarn that is knitted to form a material. It has the same durability, strength and versatility of its knitted polyester equivalent but with a much lower environmental impact. We are the first UK supplier to offer an eco-friendly option rather than the standard polyester flags made from virgin plastic.
Anti-fray
An anti-fray netting can be added to your knitted polyester or handsewn flag to help prolong the life of your flag. It provides extra protection to the hem to prevent fraying
