Back in the 1970s I collected patches from my travels. Sewed them on to my old backpack travelling Europe.
Patches are back. At least in New Zealand. They make an ideal retro Great Walk souvenir.
The patches are inspired by New Zealand’s wonderful natural landscape and unique fauna and flora. Focusing on the National Parks, the patches feature iconic images ranging from alpine wilderness and volcanic mountain to rugged coastline; rainforest to montane forest and tussock grassland; glaciers, cascading rivers and serene lakes.
