Our harvest tokens, made by Lucy, are hand plaited using heritage straw, and decorated with ribbon.
There's a long history to these harvest token... Some say that they would have been made and worn at the annual hiring fair by agricultural workers as a badge of their trade, advertising that they were available to hire to work the fields.
Others say that, at the end of the harvest, a young farm lad may have made one of these little tokens as a gift for his sweetheart. If she reciprocated his affections, she would wear it over her heart a symbol of their love.
We've added ribbon, so you can hang it as a decoration.
Size: Circa 12cms with a 6cm ribbon loop (laid flat)
Please note that these are made out of natural materials. There may be slight variations in colour and size, and tone of ribbon according to availability.
Made to order, please allow 5-10 working days plus delivery time.
